‘We were demonized’: labor unions win big in ruling on Wisconsin’s Act 10

Judge overturned ex-governor Scott Walker’s notorious law that stripped employees’ collective bargaining rights

As the labor movement braces for a second Trump term, union members and their leaders are celebrating a major victory over a controversial law that stripped public sector unions of collective bargaining rights.

In response to a lawsuit alleging that a notorious law passed by the former Republican governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker in 2011 is unconstitutional, a county judge ruled on Monday that more than 60 sections of the law and several sections of a follow-up law in 2015, Act 55, are unconstitutional.
