MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) – Dane County Circuit Judge Jacob Frost ruled Wednesday that elements of it violate the right to equal protection under the law concerning different law enforcement agencies’ access to collective bargaining.
The bill, signed by then-Governor Scott Walker in 2011, ended collective bargaining for most public workers and prompted large and vocal protests at the State Capitol in Madison.
Public employee unions filed the lawsuit last November. The decision, which is expected to be appealed, will likely end up in the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
