MADISON — Unions that won a ruling striking down Wisconsin's right-to-work law have submitted a proposed order finalizing the decision that would declare the law is unconstitutional statewide.
Dane County Judge William Foust found the law amounts to an unconstitutional taking of union services on Friday, April 8th as part of a lawsuit the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, Machinists Local Lodge 1061 and United Steelworkers District 2 filed last year.
The unions hailed the ruling but state Attorney General Brad Schimel has said it's unclear whether the ruling applies beyond the three organizations.
The unions submitted a proposed final order for Foust's approval on Tuesday, April 12th. The order would declare that right-to-work is void and can't be enforced against any employer or unions in the state.
State attorneys were expected to file their response Wednesday, April 13th.
