International Union of Operating Engineers Local 139 v. Schimel

Dist. Ct. did not err in entering judgment on pleadings in defendant’s favor in plaintiffs-unions’ action alleging that Wisconsin’s right-to-work law, that prohibited individuals from requiring, as condition of employment, employees to become members of union or to pay any dues to labor organizations, was preempted by National Labor Relations Act and violated plaintiffs’ 5^th Amendment rights by taking plaintiffs’ property without just compensation. All of plaintiffs’ argument were rejected in Sweeney, 767 F.3d 654, which addressed similar Indiana right-to-work statute, and Ct. rejected plaintiffs’ argument that Sweeney was wrongly decided.
