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?

LWDA, DIRt, and DLSE deny their employees the right to telework, even though this right is written into the collective bargaining agreement

It's written into our very own employment contract: TELEWORK SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY DENIED. The management feces will suggest that we use the grievance procedure with the union, and the only thing that does is delay it for a year and longer as it moves along the grievance process, because the management feces needs four levels of denial before they can start laughing at their employees for having stuck the telework denial in their eye.

DIR/DLSE management does everything they can to stick it up the asses of their Deputy Labor Commissioners (DLC)s. Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet gets a beat-down with Corrales, and it's the DLCs who suffer. LWDA Deputy Secretary Robert Jones greases the palms for CMS, and it's the DLCs who suffer (not to mention the taxpayers). LWDA Secretary Victoria Bradshaw gets a beat-down with Livadas, and it's the DLCs who suffer. DLSE's very best Jackass, Greg Rupp, becomes Acting Labor Commissioner for a day, giving him time to push through meal & rest period laws that are eventually overturned because of their illegality, and it is the DLCs who suffer (not to mention the victims/wage claimants).

This is just another day where LWDA, DIRt, and DLSE give their employees the knife in the back. Governator wants less traffic congestion, happy (e.g., productive) state employees, higher morale, so this "telework" language is built into our contract. And even though telework is also a recruiting tool for state employees, you have management feces like supervisor Jorge Gomez, Regional Manager Abigael Calva, and Deputy Chief Denise Padres doing everything they can to deny telework to their workers.

This is what's so funny about insecure, incompetent, control freak managers: they cannot manage, so they think someone siting at their desk must be working. Citizens and members of the public, both employees and employers, deserve better than the feces serving them. Management feces is old and stinky and should retire to go & rot elsewhere. For the record, my morale and productivity is directly related to management feces' denial of telework, so I could be more productive working away from my desk, but the management feces wants me roting at my desk, too.

We should continue working with their management tools like carbon paper and typewriters...old and outdated should be DLSE's motto.

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
