A Wisconsin judge has struck down the state law championed by Gov.
Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public
workers.
Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas ruled Friday that the law violates both
the state and U.S. Constitution and is null and void. The ruling comes after a
lawsuit brought by the Madison teachers union and a union for Milwaukee city
employees.
It was not clear if the ruling means the law is immediately suspended. The
law took away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most workers and has
been in effect for more than a year.
