Victoria Bradshaw, Robert Jones, Angela Bradstreet have fallen in love with Brinker Restaurant Corp; Brinker hates its workers, too?

Back in 2002, two DLSE attorneys nailed Brinkers (Chili's Grill & Bar, Romano's Macaroni Grill, On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina,and Maggiano's Little Italy) for labor law violations to the tune of about $10,000,00.00 (ten million dollars).

November 18, 2003: day 2 of Victoria Bradshaw's political apppointment under the Governator. She hauls in Miles Locker and Anne Stevason and demanded to know who in the hell interpreted meal & rest periods as a three-year statute. Vicky's husband works as a big-shot lawyer for Jackson Lewis, who has the client of....wait for it....the California Retailer's Association, who really don't promote worker's rights & equality in the workplace.

August, 2004: another class action lawsuit filed against Brinker Restaurant Corp. for what? You guessed it, the same bullsh*t that they violated previously. Mind you, this was a private lawsuit not involving the DLSE...but guess who was there, listening in? Robert Jones, Vicky Bradshaw's favorite douchebag lap dog! He was there to make his little book report for Vicky Bradshaw! This is big-bucks, and well into the hundreds of millions of dollars, this meal & rest period thing.

September, 2007: the California Court of Appeal issues a "non-published" opinion concerning the Brinker lawsuit, meaning that (more or less), no one else needs to adhere to it. Over fifteen EMPLOYER organizations wrote letters to the court, begging the court to make the opinion "published," so that they could immediately start screwing over their employees. Do you know who else wrote a letter to the court, also begging them to make the opinion "published?" That's right, our very own Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet! She hates employees, too!

What business is it of hers, regarding a private lawsuit? Why is Vicky Bradshaw, Governor Schwarzenegger's ho puppet for the restaurant/retailer lobbies, sending a flunkie like Robert Jones down to San Diego to eavesdrop on private, class action litigation? Why is Angela Bradstreet writing such a biased letter to the court? Why does she hate employees? Doesn't she understand that not everyone can be a plantation owner? Wisely, the court denied her request.

Why is our Labor Commissioner so biased towards employees and so loving to employers; isn't her job is to be impartial and just to enforce the law?
