First of all the Governor is allowing them to keep the right to collective bargain for their salaries.  The other collective bargaining issue has everything to do with the budget as it is pensions and health care costs that are spiraling out of control.  That the unions have preliminarily indicated a willingness (not have agreed to anything as yet) to accept these initial, minor cuts in cost for the state is like saying I am going to fix permanently the bleeding from my arm which was cut off using a band aid.  The Governor knows this is just a first step to fiscal sanity and does not want to repeat the insanity and incivility in Wisconsin every time he wants to move them closer to where the rest of the country is vis-a-vis health insurance premiums and retirement accounts. 

This has absolutely everything to do with the budget.
