As we reported earlier on Tuesday, June 14th, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld the validity of WISCONSIN Act 10. This means that Scott Walker and the GOP Majority have won their battel to strip collective bargaining from public employees, with some exceptions. However, as of this writing legislation is pending to force NEW police and fire fighters to lose collective bargaining as well.
In its 68 page ruling the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled the following:
1. Certification and motions for temporary relief were denied.
2. Petition for original jurisdiction granted.
3. All motions to dismiss and for supplemental briefings denied.
4. All orders and judgments of the Dane County Circuit Court in Case 2011CV1244 vacated and declared to be void ab initio.
5. The Dane County circuit court erred in enjoining publication and further implementation of Act 10.
6. The Legislature did not employ a process that violated Article IV, Section 10 regarding keeping the legislative doors open.
7. The Legislature did not violate the open meetings law.
8. Declined to review the validity of the procedure used to give notice of the joint committee on conference.
