Restoration of Collective Bargaining Rights is a Monumental Victory for Wisconsin’s Public Employees
MADISON – Dane County Judge Jacob Frost overturned Act 10 after ruling that certain provisions were unconstitutional. The decision strikes down the ban on collective bargaining among public employees.
“Judge Frost’s ruling is a monumental victory for Wisconsin’s working class. All Wisconsinites deserve the opportunity to live in a state that treats all workers with respect and dignity.
Act 10 was the height of Governor Walker’s and the Republican Legislature’s attacks on Wisconsin workers, local governmental bodies, and communities. Republicans passed Act 10 despite public sentiment and historic protests, and this decision brings us closer to the will of the people of Wisconsin.”
