MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Public workers covered under two unions would get a 1 percent raise under a pair of collective bargaining agreements the state Assembly has approved. The contracts up for approval Tuesday were negotiated by Gov. Scott Walker’s administration and unions covering members of the Wisconsin State Attorneys Association and the Building Trades Negotiating Committee. The deals are for the current fiscal year only. The 1 percent negotiated raises are the same that other state employees received. No pay increases are proposed in Walker’s budget for the two-year period that begins in July. The Assembly approved both contracts unanimously Tuesday. The deals must also pass the Senate and be signed by Walker before taking effect.
