This didn't take long:
On his second day in office, Gov. Mitch Daniels cancelled the state's collective bargaining agreements with the state's unions.
The action left more than 23,000 state employees represented by unions no longer able to negotiate pay, benefits and work rules with state officials. However, pay raises granted for 2005 are not affected by Daniels' actions.
Luckily, the union reps hung tough:
Francis "Fuzz" LeMay, president of the Unity Team's Local 9212, said the union will close up shop and about 10 union representatives will go back to their regular state jobs. "Obviously we're disappointed," he said. "But there it is. He's the governor."
I wonder how many of them voted for the first Republican governor in 16 years? They should have known something like this would be coming. Mitch has been known to
hang out with some scumbags.
