DLSE Hearing Officer Vicki Tamoush takes a dump on the taxpayers, and the bosses do nothing...what will it take for them to act?

The DLSE's blatant discrimination:

1) Vicki Tamoush screws that taxpayers with delaying Spanish wage claims & hooking up her gal pal Mindy, and Regional Manager Abigael Calva does nothing.

2) Labor Attorney Stephen Afgani makes a formal complaint against Vicki Tamoush, and Regional Manager Abigael Calva does nothing (except to make sure that all Stephen Afgani cases go to Maria Valdez or Jim Jackson).

3) The big taxpaying corporation Boeing makes a complaint against Vicki Tamoush, and Regional Manager Abigael Calva does nothing except to sweep the complaint under the rug.

4) Tamoush plays games with taxpayer money and translator payments, and Regional Manager Abigael Calva does nothing

When Vicki Tamoush complains that someone asked about the make & model of her car, the DIR's Civil Rights Office is involved within 24 hours!

Hearing Officer Vicki Tamoush screwing over the taxpayer and DLSE does NOTHING! Mgr. Abby Calva just sits there...

Friday, December 28th: Santa Ana DLSE secretary calls all Plaintiffs and Defendants to inform them that their December 31st hearings with Vicki Tamoush are cancelled. Why Vicki Tamoush decided to cancel all her caseload on New Year's Eve is bullshit, but since there's no policy on internal cancellations, she can screw over the taxpayers with apparently, complete freedom.

Monday, December 31st: one of the Plaintiffs didn't get the voicemail and flew all the way from North Carolina. You think the DLSE is gonna reimburese him for Vicki Tamoush's actions? You think anything's going to happen to that sow of a public servant? Regional Assclown Abigael Calva, if the past is any indication of the future, will probably try to explain the cover up as business as usual. Abigael Calva will protect Vicki Tamoush to Vicki's last Twinkie, and if there is any suffering or unprofessionalism, it will be felt by the taxpayer. The DLSE doesn't give a rat's ass about the public because they allow Vicki Tamoush to act with impunity.

Abigael Calva has known about the problems with Tamoush for years & Abigael Calva won't do sh*t about them. If you get the chance, ask DLSE Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet and DLSE Regional Manager Abigael Calva about private attorney Stephen Afgani and where his compaints against Vicki Tamoush went. Maybe Abigael Calva considers Vicki Tamoush to be the daughter she never had...

The longer the DLSE takes in throwing out the trash, the easier they are proving the blogger's arguments

Bringing in new desk donkeys is the traditional revolving-door DLSE approach to solving problems; the equivalent of a band-aid on an amputation. So John Rea leaves: that's a good thing. So Robert Jones leaves: that's a good thing. Every day that Angela Bradstreet fails to use her juice with Susan Kennedy (so she can buzz in GAS' ear) is another day that the DLSE fails to improve.

There's a Hearing Officer who has systematically pissed off almost every translator sent to her hearings. There's another Hearing Officer where labor & employment attorneys like Mr. Afgani* REFUSE to have their client(s) go before Vicki Tamoush. Regional Manager Abigael Calva knows about it and keeps secrets like these buried (like a child molesting uncle no one wants to talk about) in hopes that if the problem stays ignored long enough...it might just go away on its own. Regional Manager Calva's the one that instructs the supervisor to listen to the wage claim hearing tapes and to bury the complaints. Calva's the one that does absolutely nothing unless instructed by (previously) DLSE Assistant Chief Nance Steffen and recently, DLSE Deputy Chief Lupe Almaraz.

Hell's bells, Lupe can directly call supervisors on his Blackberry and bark out orders, so why doesn't the DLSE shitcan Abby Calva and save the taxpayers about $100K/Yr? The taxpayers would also get an almost-new Impala (low commute mileage from Pasadena to LA) if they showed Abby Calva the door.

*-It's real easy to prove up this one: look up Mr. Afgani on the State Bar website, then make contact & ask him how many times that he's gone before Hearing Officer Vicki Tamoush since filing his complaints against her conduct. Then, ask the DLSE, specifically that retard DLSE Wage Claim Regional Manager Abigael Calva as to what's been done to Vicki Tamoush. If the "problem" has been corrected, then there's no reason why Mr. Afgani cannot go before Vicki Tamoush. But if they buried Afgani's complaints, then the problem is not fixed (Vicki Tamoush is still doing it her way because Abigael Calva doesn't give a shit about this division) , which means that Tamoush does whatever she wants.
