Following is the text of a radio ad which WEAC ran on Madison radio
stations beginning September 10:
[Sound effects of playground]
Child: On the playground, someone is always trying to break the
rules; but adults should know that the Madison teachers contract
is too important to use playground antics.
[Fade sound effects - music up]
Woman: On Friday, Judge Callaway gave the school board and the
teachers until September 26 to reach an agreement. On Monday, the parties
agreed to bargaining procedures. On Tuesday, the school board violated
those procedures.
Woman: In a move intended to provoke teachers and divide the community,
the board of education took it upon themselves to change the bargaining
agenda and call a press conference. Clearly, it was an attempt to intimidate
teachers, but those tactics will not get the parties to an agreement.
Child: The high quality of our schools is too important for these
kinds of playground antics.
Woman: On Thursday, the parties will meet again to try to bring
labor peace to the Madison Public School System.
Woman: Call the school board members and urge them to negotiate
a settlement or agree to arbitration.
Child: It's the adult thing to do.
Woman: Authorized and paid for by Wisconsin Education Association
Council, Terry Craney, President.

Following is the text of a radio ad which WEAC ran on Madison radio
stations September 5-7:
Superintendent Wilhoyte describes the bargaining crisis with teachers
as an "adult problem" that should be settled in an "adult
way."
She's right, and Madison teachers agree.
Arbitration has been the fair adult way to settle bargaining disputes
in Wisconsin for 20 years.
It's still fair, and it still works.
Call Superintendent Wilhoyte at 266-6235. Ask her to do the adult thing
and accept arbitration.
Paid for by the Wisconsin Education Association Council ... Terry Craney,
president.
