Wisconsin Supreme Court lets lawsuit challenging 2011 law restricting unions' rights proceed.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has declined to hear a case aiming to restore collective bargaining rights to public sector workers, a right lost due to the 2011 Act 10 law. The lawsuit, filed by seven unions, will now proceed through lower courts. A key liberal justice rejected a Republican request to recuse herself from the case. If the lawsuit succeeds, it could restore bargaining rights to many public workers.
