Seven Wisconsin unions have joined forces and filed a lawsuit seeking to be made whole by ending the failed right wing experiment of Act 10, Scott Walker's legacy of attacking public sector workers by forbidding their collective bargaining rights::
The lawsuit, filed by the teachers and other public workers on Thursday, alleges that the law's exemption of some police, firefighters and other public safety workers from the bargaining restrictions violates the Wisconsin Constitution’s equal protection guarantee. The complaint notes that those exempted from the restrictions endorsed Walker in the 2010 gubernatorial election, while those subject to the restrictions did not.
Plaintiffs include the Abbotsford Education Association, AFSCME Local 47, AFSCME Local 1215, Beaver Dam Education Association, SEIU Wisconsin, Teaching Assistants Association Local 3220 and Teamsters Local 695.
The groups said they are filing the lawsuit now because of the "dire situation that exists in our workplaces."
