Abstract

Catholic Charities and four subentities that provide community services applied for an exemption from Wisconsin’s unemployment compensation program. The Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission determined that they were not “operated primarily for religious purposes” under Wisconsin law and therefore denied them an exemption. The Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
