A Wisconsin judge has restored collective bargaining rights to public union workers, reversing parts of a controversial law known as Act 10 that had stripped these rights since its enactment in 2011. The ruling highlighted the unconstitutionality of certain sections of the law, which had sparked protests and significant legal battles over the past decade. Reactions to the decision have been mixed, with Democrats celebrating the restoration of workers' rights while Republicans voiced concerns over fiscal implications.
