Wisconsin judge declines to block new right-to-work law

MADISON - A Madison judge has declined to block Wisconsin's new right-to-work law.

Dane County Circuit Judge William Foust rejected a request by three unions to grant temporary injunction blocking the law during a hearing on Thursday. The law will remain in effect while the unions' lawsuit proceeds.

The unions, including the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, say the law amounts to an unconstitutional seizure of their property because it allows workers who don't pay union dues to still receive union benefits.
