Wisconsin cancelling union contract extensions

It's hard to see the image, but you have to see it to believe it.

It's a letter from Gregory L. Gracz, director of Wisconsin's Office of State Employee Relations, to Martin Beil, executive director of AFSCME Council 24. First some legal gobbledygook, then this:
...the State is hereby providing the Union with written notice of its intent to cancel these five contract extensions. The effective date of the cancellation of these five contract extensions will be March 13, 2011.

Please also be advised that termination of the extension of the master agreement also cancels any and all local agreements, and memoranda of understanding and negotiating notes currently in effect.

Just .... wow.
