ICOP Union officials sought to coerce membership by preventing non-members from defending their jobs
Rejected again, Big Labor’s attempt to squash freedom and prosperity in Wisconsin by using the court system to void Right to Work.

From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld Wisconsin’s law that bars collective bargaining agreements requiring workers to pay union fees.
GOP Gov. Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers in 2015 approved the measure, known by supporters as a “right-to-work” law. The law ended the ability of unions to reach labor contracts that require all workers in certain jobs to pay union fees, even when they don’t want to belong to a union.
