Yesterday, a Dane County circuit court judge held that the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC) was in contempt of court, according to the Associated Press. Judge Colas found that WERC had ignored his ruling last year in which he held that a 2011 law severely restricting public sector workers’ right to bargain collectively was unconstitutional. In addition to finding WERC in contempt yesterday, Judge Colas issued an injunction prohibiting it from enforcing the terms of the 2011 legislation against any public school or municipal worker union.

BBC News reports that the Scottish government is looking for a buyer for the Grangemouth refinery, a crucial oil and gas supplier for Scotland and northern England. The refinery has been shut down since last week when Ineos, the owner of the factory, locked workers out in response to a strike threat.
