Wisconsin?s labor commission voted to restart recertification elections for teacher unions as mandated by Governor Walker?s bill which placed restrictions on public sector bargaining. The vote came after the state?s Supreme Court voted 5-2 to vacate the contempt order that a county circuit judge placed on the labor commission, ordering them to halt conducting recertification elections. Under Governor Walker?s law not voting is counted as a ?No? vote. Elections for the state workers, who were not part of the case, were completed last week. Two of the five state worker unions were not recertified.
