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?

Maybe these new gangs at DELS fixed the DLSE computer system, the costly CMS. By using CMS the DLSE is so much more efficient that these people can be more lax with the taxpayer’s money!!!

That was the main reason they could sell the $6 million dollar cost of CMS computer to the DOF.

California taxpayers are paying for this fiasco!

The mess with the CMS is a legacy from the previous DLSE management. I am not sure what Angela Bradstreet is doing about it. Does she really know about the dept of the problems with CMS and the fact that the State already wasted the 6 or 7 millions on this failed venture?

However, it is a fact that one ofthe DLSE IT staff responsible for the failed CMS system, Leslie Clement received promotion before retiring. Clement is now back working as a retired annuitant for the DIR IT unit and probably getting paid more than her 100% salary supposedly to try to fix the un-fixable CMS system. Of course, the main IT guy for the CMS fiasco, Jim Culbeaux it still the CIO for the DIR. He received no consequences for his main role in the wasteful and failed CMS system.
