Lawmakers Investigate Labor Attorney’s Firing
State lawmakers will hold a hearing March 15 on the Schwarzenegger administration’s firing of a veteran labor enforcement attorney.
The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement dismissed Miles Locker in February, accusing him of breach of ethics. Locker said he was punished for questioning efforts to rewrite regulations on employee meal breaks.
Assemblyman Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) and state Sen. Richard Alarcon (D-Sun Valley) said Locker’s supervisors would be asked to explain his firing.
