A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the Act 10 anti-union law is in violation of the state constitution's equal protections provisions, possibly restoring collective bargaining rights to public sector employees.
The 2011 Act 10 law effectively disempowered public sector unions, blocking their ability to negotiate for better wages and working conditions despite not outright banning the unions.
Protests erupted across Wisconsin against the Act 10 law, with over 100,000 demonstrators gathering at the Capitol, showcasing widespread discontent among citizens about the law's implications for workers' rights.
Polling at the time revealed that more than three in five U.S. voters opposed the stripping of collective bargaining rights from public sector workers, reflecting national concern over workers' rights.
