A Fond du Lac Republican lawmaker says he’s confident the state’s right to work law championed by Republican governor Scott Walker will be upheld. A Dane County Circuit judge last week struck down the law as unconstitutional. Fond du lac state representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt says he’s confident the state Supreme Court will overturn the lower court ruling. “”We’ve been through this drill before,” Thiesfeldt told WFDL news. “Pretty much any conservative, Republican initiative of any major consequence that has come forth has had a lawsuit filed against it and a Dane County judge has put a stay on it and it ends up being appealed and then it ends up being overturned and I expect this will have the same result.” The Wisconsin AFL-CIO, Machinists Local Lodge 1061 in Milwaukee and United Steelworkers in Menasha filed the lawsuit arguing the law was an unconstitutional seizure of union property because it required unions to extend benefits to workers who don’t pay dues.
