A Wisconsin court has struck down the state’s right-to-work law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker, calling it unconstitutional. A Dane County Circuit Court judge issued the ruling Friday in a lawsuit filed by local unions. Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel promised to appeal the order, saying: “We are confident the law will be upheld on appeal.” The unions argued that Wisconsin’s law was an unconstitutional seizure of union property since unions now must extend benefits to workers who don’t pay dues. Walker launched his run for president just months after signing the law, and frequently mentioned it while campaigning. He dropped out of the race in September, four months before the first state voted.
