The Wisconsin Supreme Court will not hear a challenge to the ruling on UW-Health’s nurses’ union.
The justices yesterday refused to accept the case. SEIU wanted the Supreme Court to decide if UW-health must recognize its nurses union. Wisconsin’s Employment Relations Commission ruled back in November that it did not. Nurses are fighting for union representation, but the hospital is exempt from the state’s union laws, and can recognize the union if it wants, but the hospital is not required to recognize the nurses union.
