Scott Bauer at The Associated Press reports Wisconsin Public Worker and Teachers Unions have scored a major legal victory with a ruling that restores Collective Bargaining Rights they lost under a 2011 State Law that sparked weeks of protests and made the State the center of the national battle over Union Rights.  That law, known as Act 10, effectively ended the ability of most Public Employees to bargain for wage increases and other issues and forced them to pay more for health insurance and retirement benefits.  Under the Dane County Circuit Judge’s ruling, all Public Sector Workers who lost their collective bargaining power would have it restored to what was in place prior to 2011 and would be treated the same as the Police, Firefighter and other Public Safety Unions that were exempted under the law.  Republicans vowed to immediately to appeal the ruling.
