I’m All for the Push for Court Efficiency

The push for efficiency at LA County courts is the best thing that I have seen come out of the union yet. I am all for the cuts you have suggested plus…

  • The judges get water while the clerks have to join water clubs or bring water to work.
  • Cut the hours that we answer the phone: have a phone system like Ventura Courts…the Malibu staff answers the phones from 8AM – 5PM. Even just a few hours would enable us to get more done. 
  • Discontinue the amount of classes that we have to attend…they are mostly in downtown LA and many are repetitive and not necessary. If it pertains to our job that is different.  
  • When an employee passes a test and is put on a list, don’t expire the list until every single person on that list has been interviewed. I have sat on four lists only to have them expire due to court freezes, reclassification and what is now happening to the court.
