The fight over Wisconsin Gov.
Scott Walker's signature policy achievement, a law effectively ending
collective bargaining for most public employees, ended Thursday with the
state Supreme Court declaring it to be constitutional.
Passage of the
law in 2011 put Wisconsin at the center of a nationwide battle over
union rights and fueled Walker's rise to national prominence as he
entered the mix of possible 2016 presidential candidates.
Anger
over the law led to Walker being forced to stand for recall in 2012; he
won, making him the first governor in U.S. history to withstand such a
vote. Walker is up for re-election this November, the third time he will
be on the ballot in four years.
