A Wisconsin appeals court has reinstated a law that significantly curtails the collective bargaining rights of most public-sector unions. The ruling overturns a lower court's decision that had previously struck down the anti-union measure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The legal tide in Wisconsin remains against organised labour, reaffirming a stable, employer-friendly operating environment. If you're building a business in the state, your labour cost projections face less near-term pressure from union wage demands.
