2nd issue report The increased expenses for government employees, as well as the state and local governments’ economic crises,
provide a problem. Wisconsin’s new collective bargaining law: policy Under current law, municipal employees have the right to
bargain collectively over wages, hours, and working conditions under the Municipal Employment Relations Act (MERA), and state
employees have the right to bargain collectively over wages, hours, and working conditions under the State Employment Labor
Relations Act (SELRA). Except for employees who are specific protective occupation participants under the Wisconsin Retirement
System or a county or city retirement system, this [law] modifies MERA and SELRA for all employees (public safety employees). The
right to collectively bargain for all employees who are not public safety employees (generic employees) is limited to base salaries
under this [law]. Furthermore, unless a referendum permits a higher rise, any general employee who is a member of a collective
bargaining unit is confined to bargaining over a percentage of total base salaries increase that is no bigger than the consumer price index percentage change. This [law] also forbids municipal employers from bargaining collectively with municipal general employees
in topics not covered by MERA. Mike DeWine (Republican), Governor of the State of Ohio, is a client. 14 tasks to complete: 1) Identify

Wisconsin law should not be adopted, what alternative policies can be implemented to control state and local governments?
