Senate passes right-to-work bill on partisan 17-15 vote

MADSION - The Wisconsin State Senate passed a right-to-work bill on a partisan 17-15 vote Tuesday after hours of debate.

Only Republicans voted for the legislation that would make it optional for a private sector employee to pay union dues or join a union.

Sen. Jerry Petrowski, R-Marahton, says he is a former union member. He also was the only Republican to vote against the bill.
