    GET ME REWRITE: Tom Tiffany has been an elected official since 2009 and still doesn't know how government works

     


    U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who sponsored the bill as a member of the state Assembly, called it one of the most transformative pieces of legislation to come out of the 2011 session, which also produced Act 10, the collective bargaining reform bill that sparked months of protests and recall elections.
    Tiffany, a Minocqua Republican, said the intent of the law was to provide transparency and accountability.
    “Unelected officials were basically creating laws,” Tiffany said. 


    Wrong!  Time for a basic civics lesson. 


    Like Robin Vos, his former colleague in the Wisconsin state legisture, Tom Tiffany inhabits an irony-free world.


    Representing the Lotito people (You know, those employers who have gotten better at addressing workers' needs)

     


    New York Times, 4/9/2021

    Lawyers representing management say that union membership has declined — from about one-third of private-sector workers in the 1950s to just over 6 percent today — because employers have gotten better at addressing workers’ needs. “Employees have access to the company in order to express any concerns they might have,” said Michael J. Lotito of the firm Littler Mendelson. But labor leaders say wealthy, powerful companies have grown much bolder in pressing the advantages that labor law affords them.  [emphasis added]
