The details of several labor contracts causing no small amount of conflict between Gov. Jim Doyle and Gov.-elect Scott Walker became available for state legislators to review, although some have said they still want more information.

A brief summary of the contracts distributed by the Wisconsin State Employees Union to legislators showed pay cuts while increasing the percentage of health insurance and pension paid by employees.

The contracts contain no market adjustments or pay increases, AFSCME spokespeople Susan McMurray and John Grabel said in the letter.

Doyle has indicated the Legislature will carry through with plans to approve the contracts in a special legislative session in December, before the new Republican majority takes control Jan. 3.

The labor contracts would cover the rest of the biennial budget period, ending June 2011.

The AFSCME summary did not contain an estimate of the cost of the contracts for the state, an aspect of which Republicans have been particularly wary.

Walker has asked Doyle to refrain from finalizing state employee contracts in his final weeks in office, saying it will only necessitate larger spending cuts in the next budget.

Other Republicans also decried Doyle’s dealings with the unions as crippling to future Republicans as they attempt to grapple with the state’s $3.3 billion budget deficit.

“If approved, the contracts will tie the hands of the governor and the newly elected Legislature as they work to balance the state budget,” Cullen Werwie, a spokesperson for Walker, said in a statement.

However, AFSCME maintains the contracts will not interfere with any of Walker’s imminent budget decisions.

“The incoming governor will have the opportunity to negotiate contracts for the period coinciding with the budget he will propose,” McMurray and Grabel wrote.

Many Republicans are not satisfied by the ASFCME summary of the contracts, though.

Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and Sen. Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, sent a letter to the Department of Administration Wednesday, requesting that the Doyle Administration post all government worker contracts for 2009-2011 online.

Vos and Darling said in the letter while they are opposed to approving the contracts in a lame duck session, they believe maximum transparency should be given to taxpayers if the contracts are included in the special session.

Doyle’s office has yet to release further details on the contracts.
