Judge voids controversial Wisconsin union law

Thu May 26, 2011 12:58pm EDT

By Jeff Mayers

MADISON, Wis. May 26 (Reuters) - A Wisconsin judge on Thursday voided a controversial law restricting the collective bargaining rights of public sector unions, saying Republican lawmakers had illegally rushed through the bill.

Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi said the state's open meetings law was violated in rushing through the legislation during massive protests at the state Capitol earlier this year.

Now that Sumi has ruled, the state's Supreme Court is expected to take up the issue. The recent reelection to the state's top court of a Republican gives Republican-leaning judges a majority there.
