They tried at last weeks City Council meeting and have been trying at nearly every local governing board they can. Who are they they are the Wisconsin Alliance of Cities. The issue there attempt to defeat what Governor Doyle is attempting to do with proposed in this years state budgets that deal with prevailing wage rate laws.
The Oshkosh City Council defeated it last week I plan on voting AGAINST this bill and hope the county board defeats this resolution.
Prevailing wage means it will guarantee those working on government projects will be given a good and living wage. This language is not just for "union" workers as some make it out to be. This will help all workers not just union workers.
This also does not hurt a small company as some suggests all companies must abide and fill out the forms in order to apply projects that the prevailing wage must be used.
I urge you to call your supervisor before Tuesday nights meeting to tell him how you feel and hopefully that is to defeat resolution No.207-52009.
The Wisconsin Alliance of Cities have been taking this resolution to every governing board to get support. This was not an idea that came form Wisconsin Counties Association or from one of my fellow supervisors. Defeat the resolution and hopefully any and all governing bodies will defeat like the city of Oshkosh did last Tuesday night.
