Prior to WMC, Rebecca worked in the Wisconsin State Senate for eight years. She worked for Senators Alberta Darling and Luther Olsen and was most recently the Chief of Staff for Senator Randy Hopper. Rebecca also spent four years at the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions working on various policy matters.
At WMC, Rebecca focuses on health care, employer/employee relations, and education. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Madison with degrees in International Relations and Political Science.

Irv Gottschalk graduated with a B.A. in political science from San Diego State University in 1972. He moved to Milwaukee later that year to attend UWM, from which he earned his M.A. in political science in 1974. He began his career with the National Labor Relations Board in April 1976, all with the Milwaukee Regional Office. He started as a Field Examiner, over time investigating a full range of representation and unfair labor practice cases. He was also active in the NLRB field employees’ and headquarters support staff’s union, the National Labor Relations Board Union, and served as its National President from 1985 to 1987.
In 1991, Irv was promoted to the position of Compliance Supervisor, where, in addition to supervising a team of field examiners and attorneys, he was responsible for ensuring that Respondent parties, either as a result of voluntary settlements or formal Board or Federal Circuit Court findings of unfair labor practice violations, complied with the agreed-to or ordered remedies. A highlight of Irv’s work during this period was the achievement of a $16 million backpay remedy for over 600 employees in the successorship case U.S. Marine Corporation. After a 2½ year stint of simultaneously serving as Acting Assistant to the Regional Director, Irv was promoted to Assistant to the Regional Director in early 1997. Starting in July 2003, following the retirement of former Regional Director Philip E. Bloedorn, Irv also served as Acting Regional Director for three years. On June 7, 2006, Irv was selected as Regional Director of the Milwaukee Regional Office.
Irv has taught labor relations courses at Alverno College and is a regular guest speaker at UWM’s Master’s program in Human Resources and Labor Relations. He also is active in the Wisconsin Chapter of the Labor and Employment Relations Association and is currently the Chapter’s Immediate Past President.
