SRC push for more power over unions riles legislators
[...] In Harrisburg, the Philadelphia Democratic House delegation had gotten word that the School Reform Commission was shopping legislation that would give it the absolute right to cancel union contracts and set salaries and benefits.
[...] As O'Brien recalled, Ramos told them he was an appointee of Gov. Corbett and could not act without consulting him.
(Ramos is the chairperson of the School Reform Commission. The five members are unelected, and Ramos was appointed by our sadistic governor.)
