MADISON – Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) President & CEO Kurt R. Bauer released the below statement following the recent Supreme Court ruling in WMC v. Evers:
“WMC disagrees with the Supreme Court’s decision, which has opened the door to massive public intrusion into private medical records possessed by state agencies. The governor’s attempt to shame and embarrass Wisconsin businesses is wrong, and the Supreme Court is equally wrong to allow it.”
“Throughout the global pandemic, businesses took extraordinary measures to protect the health and safety of their employees. At the same time, they were desperately fighting an uphill battle to stay open and keep those same workers gainfully employed. Unfortunately, their efforts were too often undermined by government policies that bludgeoned the economy.”
