A Dane County judge shook the world of Wisconsin politics Monday in a ruling that has major implications for thousands of state workers. Judge Jacob Frost ruled to overturn Act 10, a 13-year-old law that effectively ended collective bargaining for public employees…”This particular judge in Dane County has found that Act 10 violates the state constitutional equal protection guarantees,” Alexia Kulwiec, associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School for Workers, said. Kulwiec is an expert on state labor law. She said Judge Frost found it unconstitutional how Act 10 divided public workers into general and public safety employees. Police, fire and other public safety unions were exempt from Act 10.
