Brockmiller, also president of the Western Wisconsin AFL-CIO, didn’t have to worry about his “labor market analyst” job with the state.

He’s still with the La Crosse Job Center, which is a part of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.

Rosenthal, head of Local 983 of District Council 37 in New York, was recently exposed by union insiders for sleeping through much of his two-hour workday on a regular basis. But he still has his job with the union
