MADISON -- Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel on Monday, April 18th filed a motion with Dane County Circuit Court Judge William Foust -- seeking a stay of Judge Foust's final order on the state's right-to-work law.
Judge Foust on Friday, April 15th entered his final order -- declaring Wisconsin's right-to-work law unconstitutional.
Right-to-work laws prohibit businesses and unions from reaching agreements that require all workers, not just union members, to pay union dues.
Three unions alleged in a lawsuit that the law amounts to an unconstitutional taking of services since the statutes mean the unions must represent non-union workers who don't have to pay dues.
Foust agreed in a decision on April 8th. His order Friday formalized his ruling.
