This week, a lower court struck down the law that had previously weakened public employees' collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin, marking a potential shift in labor relations.
Wisconsin's law, which essentially ended collective bargaining rights for most public employees, faced massive protests and national attention when it was introduced by Governor Scott Walker in 2011.
The ruling this week stemmed from arguments made about the unequal treatment of public employees under the law, specifically regarding exemptions for firefighters and police.
Supporters of labor view the recent court ruling as a possible victory in the long-standing battle to restore collective bargaining rights, although its permanence remains uncertain.
