Wisconsin Court Restores Union Bargaining Rights, Overturns Act 10

A Dane County Circuit Judge has ruled to restore collective bargaining rights to Wisconsin public sector workers, reversing the 2011 Act 10 law that limited these rights. The decision, which affects tens of thousands of employees, is expected to be appealed and could reach the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The ruling has been celebrated by unions but criticized by Republicans and business groups, who argue it could financially strain local governments. The case highlights the significance of the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
