District Court, E.D. Wisconsin September 26, 2016, Case No. 16-CV-590-JPS (International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 v. Schimel)

ORDER

J.P. Stadtmueller, United States District Judge

This case represents Wisconsin’s chapter in the ongoing, national debate about the role that labor unions play in the modern workplace and the extent to which they may be regulated by both state and federal governments. In 2015, Wisconsin joined the ranks of many sister states when it passed its own species of a so-called “right to work” law.
