111.89 Strike prohibited.

111.89(1)

(1) Upon establishing that a strike is in progress, the employer may either seek an injunction or file an unfair labor practice charge with the commission under § 111.84 (2)(e) or both. It is the responsibility of the office to decide whether to seek an injunction or file an unfair labor practice charge. The existence of an administrative remedy does not constitute grounds for denial of injunctive relief.
