Wisconsin public worker and teachers unions score a major legal victory with a ruling that restores collective bargaining rights they lost under a 2011 state law.

The law, known as Act 10 , effectively ended the ability of most public employees to bargain for wage increases and other issues.

Republicans vowed to immediately appeal the ruling, which ultimately is likely to go before the Wisconsin Supreme Court .

Wisconsin Policy Forum : Since 2000 , Wisconsin had the largest decline in the proportion of its workforce that is unionized.

GOP -controlled Wisconsin Legislature approved a right-to-work law that limited the power of private-sector unions.

Public sector unions that brought the lawsuit are the Abbotsford Education Association ; the American Federation of State , County and Municipal Employees Locals 47 and 1215 .
