In a recent discussion on Here & Now, Bryna Godar, an attorney with the University of Wisconsin Law School State Democracy Research Initiative, delved into a court ruling that could potentially reverse Act 10. Passed in 2011, Act 10 limited the bargaining rights of public sector unions in Wisconsin.
Godar explained that the ruling, if upheld, would have significant implications for labor rights in the state. The appeal process for this decision is expected to be lengthy and could eventually reach the state Supreme Court by 2025.
The conversation also touched on the upcoming 2025 state Supreme Court election, which could be crucial in determining the future of labor laws in Wisconsin. With the potential reversal of Act 10 hanging in the balance, the election is likely to be closely watched by both labor advocates and opponents.
Godar’s insights shed light on the legal complexities surrounding Act 10 and its potential reversal, highlighting the importance of the court system in shaping labor policy in the state. As the legal battle over Act 10 continues to unfold, all eyes will be on the upcoming state Supreme Court election as a critical event that could have far-reaching implications for Wisconsin’s labor landscape.
