Wisconsin law enforcement union sues state over collective bargaining law

This blog recently reported on the collective bargaining law between unions and governing bodies that was struck down as unconstitutional in Wisconsin state court. But, another lawsuit against Governor Scott Walker's law is being brought to fruition by the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association (WLEA).

While the law may have been struck down as unconstitutional, it only applied to teachers and Milwaukee city workers, which brought the case to court, according to the Associated Press. The ruling did not apply to all state workers, which includes University of Wisconsin officers, Capitol police and Department of Transportation field agents. The WLEA's lawsuit challenges its authority over Wisconsin law enforcement workers.

According to the source, the law currently only allows public workers to collectively bargain for base salary increases that are no greater than the rate of inflation. Negotiations over workplace safety, hours and job security are not allowed. It also requires the affected workers to pay more for their health insurance and pension benefits and throws away forced annual votes that keep unions organized.

The lawsuit also argues that, rather than diminishing a budget deficit, the law aims to restrict free speech rights and diminish the power of public unions in Wisconsin.

As the collective bargaining law continues to be contested by numerous unions and agencies, lawyers would be wise to ensure they are able to maintain track of all deposition transcripts and hearings. By doing so, they can ensure that they have the most accurate arguments for and against the law.

By partnering with Milwaukee court reporters, litigators can also use video deposition services to gain a more comprehensive look at any depositions or hearings for these cases.
