Wisconsin Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says a bill taking away collective bargaining rights from public employees is not negotiable and will pass as is.
Democrats and union leaders say they're willing to agree to parts of the proposal that would double their health insurance contributions and require them to contribute 5.8 percent of their salary to their pensions. But they want to keep their collective bargaining rights.
But Fitzgerald said Saturday terms of the bill are not negotiable. He is calling on Democrats who left town Thursday to return to take up the bill.

Unions and Democrats wants to negotiate now. I quess so. They know they have violated their own Collective Bargaining agreement by not going to work and doing their job. Their agreement is no different than other Public Employee agreements which includes a provision that specifies "NO JOB ACTIONS". This is a job action since they are all on camera proving they were / are not sick. So the Unions, backed by the Democrats, have violated and therefore voided their own Collective Bargaining agreement. What bargaining power do they have now by participating in an illegal job action? They, Unions and Democrats, have lost all credibility / justification for any type of Collective Bargaining.
