LWDA Secretary Victoria Bradshaw's loser career highlights:

1) Bradshaw's the same loser that lost the US Supreme Court case Livadas v. Bradshaw, right?
2) Bradshaw hired Jose Millan, the same guy that lost Cuadra v. Millan, right?
3) Bradshaw ended up making Millan leave his LWDA Deputy Secretary position because of his meal & rest period games, right?
4) Bradshaw then picked Robert Jones to replace that loser Jose Millan, right?
5) Robert Jones, after he thoroughly f*cks the DLSE, is selected by Bradshaw as Deputy Secretary to continue the work of Jose Millan, right?
6) Robert Jones fails to receive one pinche vote for his senate confirmation, right?
7) Bradshaw used her position & personnel to terminate Miles Locker, via Robert Jones, John Rea, and Anthony Mischel, right?
8) Victoria Bradshaw, appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, is so stupid that she doesn't know what a meal and a rest period is; furthermore, the jackass morons she hires are also so stupid that they can't figure it out for her, right?

Newly-installed puppet Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet is beginning to look like a joke of a leader manager

Problems are not being solved, priorities are not being shifted, personnel are still screwing the system, the DLSE culture is (still) all about ass kissing, and the public is (still) suffering as a result of Angela Bradstreet just keeping things the way they are.
It should have been clear that someone appointed by the republican GAS administration will always possess the mentality of a pro-employer, screw-the-employee, and enact policies that violate the law and the US Constitution. In this case, it doesn't matter whether or not Angela Bradstreet is a registered democrat; that's just window dressing. We have a very wealthy democratic (I'm fairly certain she's not renting in Saulsalito) whose background was in a prestigious law firm that represented employers & management.
Employers hold the bags of gold, not the employees. There's no money in representing employees, but if Exxon, Halliburton, or Wal Mart needs outside legal representation...there's that cha-ching sound. It makes sense that a republican administration would install a democrat who supports a republican agenda. In this case, it's not a stretch to assume that a pro-employer/anti-employee attorney would support the governor's pro-employer/anti-employee agenda. Livadas, Cuadra, Murphy, & Corrales only show me that republican agendas lose big in court. Angela should have no problem fitting in with John Rea, Vicky Bradshaw, Robert Jones, Greg Rupp, Jose Millan, and Abigael Calva
