Court Rules Wisconsin Right-to-Work Law Is Unconstitutional
…Court Strikes Down Scott Walker's Right-To-Work Law as Unconstitutional …
“A Wisconsin court has struck down the state's right-to-work law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker, calling it unconstitutional.
Wisconsin's right-to-work law, championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker as he was mounting his run for president, was struck down Friday as violating the state constitution…………

Attorney General Brad Schimel promised to appeal the decision and said he was confident it would not stand, noting that no similar law has been struck down in any other state. Schimel, also a Republican, has not decided whether to seek an immediate suspension of the ruling while the appeal is pending, spokesman Johnny Koremenos said.”……….

The groups argued that the law was an unconstitutional seizure of union property because it required unions to extend benefits to workers who don't pay dues………

Thank goodness for our court system…….
This needs to be played up big. This is the kind of news that will spur non union people into action for union membership and it guarantees the right of a closed shop and better bargaining power. The article does not say however, which part of the state constitution was violated
Good news, thanks for posting.
