Wisconsin Supreme Court to Decide Act 10 Fate | Green Bay News

Wisconsin’s appeals court has overturned a lower court ruling and reinstated Act 10—the controversial 2011 law that stripped most public workers of collective bargaining rights. Unions, who originally sued to overturn it, vow to push the case to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, now leaning liberal after a new justice took the bench. They argue the law violates equal protection by creating a two-tiered system that favors public safety workers, citing staffing shortages and low pay. Former Governor Scott Walker, the law’s architect, celebrates the decision as a win for taxpayers and elected officials. The fate of Act 10 now rests with the state’s highest court, setting the stage for a pivotal showdown in the ongoing battle over public employee rights.
