Good.
The effort to overturn Act 10 began in November 2023 when several unions representing public employees filed the lawsuit, citing a "dire situation" in workplaces with issues including low pay, staffing shortages and poor working conditions.
Wisconsin unions argue for overturning 2011 law that ended nearly all collective bargaining
From the Article:... #wisconsin #act10 #unions
A law that drew massive protests and made Wisconsin the center of a national fight over union rights has returned to court, facing a new challenge from teachers and public workers brought after the state’s Supreme Court flipped to liberal control. The unions argued Tuesday that the 2011 law, known as Act 10, should be struck down because it creates unconstitutional exemptions for firefighters and other public safety workers. The Legislature countered that issues raised in the the lawsuit have already been reviewed by courts and that the case should be dismissed. Dane County Circuit Judge Jacob Frost says he will issue a written ruling.
I'm very excited to share that the TAA, my graduate worker union at UW-Madison, is suing to overturn Act 10!

If you aren't familiar, Act 10 is an extremely nasty anti-union bill that all but outlawed collective bargaining for public employees in Wisconsin. It's extremely unfair and was crammed through despite massive protests. Now we're fighting together with other WI unions to win those rights back!
