MADISON, Wis., June 15 (UPI) -- Labor organizations Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit challenging a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling that affirmed a law that limits collective bargaining.
Republican Gov. Scott Walker "has created two classes of public sector workers, and that is unconstitutional," Wisconsin AFL-CIO President Phil Neuenfeldt said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. "When a legislature discriminates among classes of workers, especially when doing so has more to do with political payback than with any legitimate reasoning, the law has been violated."
