Wisconsin Union Law to Take Effect
By AMY MERRICK
The Wisconsin Supreme Court cleared the way Tuesday for the state's contentious collective-bargaining law to take effect, ruling 4-3 that a lower-court judge who put the measure on hold improperly interfered with the legislature.
The decision limits Wisconsin's public employees to bargaining over their wages. Raises will be limited to the inflation rate unless voters approve larger increases. The law also requires public employees to contribute 5.8% of their salaries to their pensions and pay at least 12.6% of their health-care premiums.
Mike Huebsch, whose state agency is responsible for public workers' paychecks, said the department is reviewing the Supreme Court order and will begin implementing the law "when appropriate."

Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi, whose son has worked for the SEIU and the AFL-CIO, cited an alleged technical violation to strike down a Wisconsin law limiting the collective-bargaining privileges of government-employee unions.

Wisconsin's polarizing union rights law will take effect thanks to a sharply divided ruling by the state Supreme Court that determined a judge overstepped her authority when she voided the governor's plan to strip most public workers of their collective bargaining rights.

I hope this becomes more common to see judges get slapped down when they try to legislate from the bench. Maryann Sumi, that's not your job.
