Wisconsin Act 10 union-rights challenge advances as UW Health workers seek restoration

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will review whether Act 10 unconstitutionally denied union rights to some public workers, including correctional officers, wardens, and Capitol Police; lower courts have issued conflicting rulings and the law remains in effect. SEIU Wisconsin is separately urging legislation to restore UW Health employees’ bargaining rights, but prior bills stalled and no remedy has been enacted.
