>> A lawsuit has been filed over the state's near total ban
on a collective bargaining for most public employees.
Act 10 was enacted under former Governor Scott Walker in
2011 prompting massive protests in
and around the state capitol.
On Thursday, seven unions representing teachers
and other public employees filed the lawsuit arguing Act 10
violates the Wisconsin Constitution's Equal Protection
guarantee because the law exempts police
and other public safety workers from its union limitations.
