John Shelton, Professor and Chair of Democracy and Justice Studies at UW-Green Bay, joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz to talk about the recent ruling by a Dane County Judge that certain provisions of Act 10 are unconstitutional by unfairly limiting collective bargaining rights for most public employees. John explains that the judge ruled that there is no rational basis for guidelines which define public safety type work from that of more general type work which determines the rights for collective bargaining. The Graduate Worker Union at UW-Madison (TAA) is one of the plaintiffs in the case, and John thinks they will be able to engage in official collective bargaining discussions with the university administration in the near future.
