UW Nurses' Bid to Reclaim Union Status Rejected by Wisconsin Supreme Court Unanimously
DANE COUNTY, WISCONSIN, JUN 27 – The court upheld a 2011 law limiting public-sector union rights, affecting over 2,600 UW Health nurses who cannot compel wage bargaining, union leaders said they remain determined.
- On June 27, the Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously decided that UW Health is not obligated by law to acknowledge or negotiate labor contracts with its nurses’ union in Madison.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed prior rulings from both the state's labor relations board and a circuit court in Dane County that determined the 2011 Act 10 excluded UW Health from the protections of the Wisconsin Peace Act.
- The case examined if UW Health was legally obligated to engage in collective bargaining with the nurses' union under the Peace Act, but the court ruled against this, determining that Act 10 eliminated such bargaining requirements for UW Health.
- Justice Brian Hagedorn stated that Act 10 terminated the previous obligation for the Authority to engage in collective bargaining, while UW Health expressed gratitude for the thorough and final consideration given by the court.
- Despite the legal defeat, UW Nurses United pledged in statements to persist in their efforts to regain comprehensive union negotiation privileges by pursuing voluntary recognition and advocating for legislative reforms.
