Wisconsin Collective Bargaining Law Struck Down

[WillowTree]

He'll just have to lay off teachers to make up for the budget shortfall this ruling will create. Too bad, he had Wisconsin on it's way to recovery too.

BTW What grounds make the law unconstitutional?

A massive push by Democrats to eliminate states rights using Clinton/Obama appointees to the federal judgships around the nation in order to procure power for themselves at the expense of everybody else and at absolutely not cost to themselves.

Judge strikes down Wisconsin law restricting union rights - U.S. News

Well, for a while the state enjoyed having a surplus instead of being in debt. The children enjoyed more teachers. I guess all good things must come to an end. This is all about the public unions, which in and of itself should be unconstitutional, and them getting benefits without having to contribute the same way the tax payers have to. They are privileged.

The law allowed collective bargaining ONLY for Cost of Living adjustments. You don't have to be a Harvard Cum Laude to understand that it might not hold up.

cite

The law took away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most workers and has been in effect for more than a year.

Colas' ruling comes after a lawsuit brought by the Madison teachers union and a union for Milwaukee city employees.
For city, county and school workers, the ruling returns the law to its previous status, before it was changed in March 2011, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. However, Walker's law remains largely in force for state workers, it reported.

Walker's law prohibited state and local governments from bargaining over anything except cost of living adjustments to salaries. Haggling over issues such as health benefits, pensions and workplace safety was barred.

BULLSHIT.

Every day, you post these little one line insults or no-thought pseudo-"opinions?

You really need to read/watch/listen to something besides fux/dredge. Seriously, try comparing Wisc to Ill and that's just a start.

yeah that pesky constitution always getting in the way

 

[Conservative]

this will be overturned on appeal.

 

[Truthmatters]

yeah for the constitution

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Dane County? LOL. Shocking. Sounds like another activist judge trying to impose his will. There is no right in the federal or state constitution to collectively bargain. End of story.

Wisconsin Supreme Court will overturn it. They already ruled the passage of the laws were legal.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The bargaining that was forbidden included working conditions. The state will lose on appeal.

 

[Truthmatters]

they always have insults for anyone who doesnt march in locked step with their attacks on our freedoms

 

[Lakhota]

Squeal, Walker, you filthy pig.

the irony of your post is hilarious

 

[Darkwind]

The State will win on appeal. The law levels the playing field and applies equally to everyone. In fact, it has done more good for union members than harm.

 

[Lakhota]

A good win for American labor!

how does your cite back up your claim that it is unconstitutional? if i wanted more facts, i would have asked for more facts.

 

[Yurt]

Yeah, republicans thwarted once again by that pesky First Amendment.

ZACT-lee.

Walker is in the hip pocket of the Koch's. He's anti-American scum, more than willing to sell his soul for votes.

can you explain how the law violates the first amendment?

if walker is anti american...why is wisconsin doing so well under his leadership? ooops.

apparently no liberal can support their claims of how this law is unconstitutional.

yawn
