Most school employees vote to recertify unions under bargaining law

Steven Verberg:

School employees approved state certification for about 85 percent of the unions seeking the limited collective bargaining rights allowed under Wisconsin's controversial new law governing public employees, officials said Thursday.

Members of 208 local bargaining units for teachers and school support staff voted by telephone over the last two weeks, according to the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission, which oversaw the elections.

In November, all six state employee unions that sought official status won recertification elections.

Elections for municipal employee unions are scheduled to take place early in 2012.
