Power Plant managers needed, Wisconsin.

[ejbrush]

This help wanted ad came up today in the vast reaches of the internet, posted on the 20th of this month:

Starting wage at for power plant managers in the private sector are listed between $130 and $150k. Plus bennies. In Wisconsin.

Huh. Funny thing is, none of the power companies I've looked at so far are listing any openings for a Power Plant manager in Wisconsin.

Xcel Energy? http://www.xcelenergy.com/SiteCollectionImages/ATS/frameset-ats-nonemployee.html Nope.

WPS? https://careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/client_integrys/external/search.do Nope.

Alliant Energy? https://careers.alliantenergy.com/psc/hrmsext/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL Nope.

We Energies? http://www.we-energies.com/careers/careers_search.htm Nope.

MG&E? http://www.mge.com/careers/ Nope.

Now, I am certain that this is completely coincidental, that multiple Power Plant managers would be needed in Wisconsin, when the power companies don't seem to be hiring any themselves. And the state owned plants already have their own power plant managers, who make less than their private sector collegues.

Unless, I suppose, that maybe the fix is in?

Sure would be nice if somebody out there who has some sort of voice would get this out.

1. Try looking under "scabs." That might help.

2. Let's see. Aren't these plants liable to be taken over by private industries

if that blasted bill passes? I'm sure Wisconsinites would be delighted to get the invisible finger of the marketplace right up the ol' smokestack.

We have plenty to tell Wisconsin about Enron.

3. Some posts on DU address this

Hidden in the middle of the bill to strip bargaining for union workers
is a little gem
It is proposed that the state may sell or contract out public utilities with a no bid contract
to private industry.
It appears that walker plans to sell the utilities to koch
who helped get him into office
