MADISON, Wis. — The briefs filed by both sides in the Mike Miller versus CUNA case before the Madison Equal Opportunities Commission illustrated the fiery stances of each party.

Michael Fox, attorney for Mike Miller, a former CUNA employee who has alleged he was fired because he complained about a superior's discriminatory comments, wrote in the final brief that CUNA's "projection" of the rearrangement of facts by the plaintiff is actually what the organization is attempting.

"Having said this," Fox wrote, "CUNA then embarks on a summary of the evidence it offered in its defense that is singularly consistent in that there is no favorable fact it does not exaggerate, no unfavorable fact it cannot diminish or ignore, no deposition that cannot be blithely contradicted, no document that means what it says and no fact that can't be conveniently invented to bolster the holes in its defense. In so doing, CUNA cruises the record with Orwellian facility denying that words such as sexist refer to sexually discriminatory behavior, meeting means meeting, complaint means complaint or performance means performance."
