Taxpayers' gain, public workers' pain - CNN.com
"Manitowoc County operates a juvenile detention center at a cost of about $350,000 a year.
That center currently holds a single inmate.
The county executive has proposed closing the center and paying another county to hold the single inmate.
Seems sensible, right?
So why has it not happened?
The local paper has the details:
The relevant labor contract forbids Manitowoc County to do any subcontracting if unionized workers have been laid off."
