Wisconsin attorney general appeals ruling of union law

A controversial Wisconsin state law that was passed last year hangs in the balance of a few lawyers and attorney generals in the state's court system. The law, which blocks public employee unions from collectively bargaining over contract terms besides wages, was recently found as unconstitutional in the Dane County Circuit Court.

But, Wisconsin's attorney general J.B. Van Hollen made a move to block the ruling that struck down the law, which effectively ended collective-bargaining rights for most public sector unions. Van Hollen did this by filing a motion to stop Judge Juan Colas's ruling that found the law to be unconstitutional and violated freedom of speech, along with association and equal protection rights.

"In the absence of a stay, public employers all across Wisconsin will face a confusing array of changing bargaining environments," wrote Van Hollen in his decision.

The attorney general told media sources that he plans to appeal the court's decision and that he is confident in this move. The Wall Street Journal reports that Van Hollen also filed this motion on behalf of Governor Scott Walker, who introduced the law after taking office in January 2011. The initial installment of the law led to a series of protests and demonstrations at the State Capitol building. In fact, the law led to a recall of Governor Walker's position in June, which he survived.

As this complicated lawsuit continues to progress, lawyers may need the most accurate deposition transcripts they can acquire to ensure they are at their best. In this pursuit, litigators should partner with experienced Milwaukee court reporters that are also registered real-time reporters.
