In the latest in the escalating war of words between Meg Whitman and her maid, Nicky Diaz Santillan took to the microphones today to say that the Republican nominee for governor never treated her like a member of the family.

Diaz Santillan's attorney, Gloria Allred, said that Whitman did not send a gift when her maid's baby was born, never called or sent a card, and never called to find out how she was doing during the eight months she was at home with the baby.

"Meg, don't say I was part of your family because you never treated me like I was," Diaz Santillan said.

Allred called the press conference to rebut Whitman's claim that she was manipulating Diaz Santillan.

"I make my own decisions and I am not anyone's puppet," Diaz Santillan said. "Nobody made me do it. Meg Whitman was wrong when she said that someone put a gun to my head."

Nicky Diaz Santillan tears up during Tuesday's press conference
​Diaz Santillan teared up twice during the press conference -- once during the English-language portion, and a bit more during the Spanish portion.

She said she spoke out on behalf of other undocumented workers who are exploited by their employers.

"It is not fair that we work hard and then get thrown away like garbage with no thought about what will happen to us," Diaz Santillan said.

Allred said she had filed a claim with the state Division of Labor Standards Enforcement for unpaid wages. She refused repeatedly to name the attorney who referred Diaz Santillan to her, and avoided answering whether her actions were politically motivated.

She did say that she last saw Jerry Brown a year or two ago, while waiting for a plane at the Sacramento airport.

She also said that Whitman was attacking her instead of Diaz Santillan because Whitman is trying to avoid alienating Latino voters.

"The strategy is apparent," Allred said. "I'm willing to accept these attacks."

The San Francisco Chronicle reported last night that Whitman's former nanny, Jill Armstrong, quit after two months because the job was too demanding. She also said she believes Diaz Santillan's story.

Update, 3:35 p.m. Last week, Diaz Santillan filed a claim against Whitman for $6,210 in back wages. Allred seems to have arrived at this figure by estimating that Diaz Santillan worked 18 hours per week, but was only paid for 15 hours. She then took the balance of 3 hours per week, multiplied it by $23/hr., and and multiplied that by 21 months -- which is the total period that Diaz Santillan was employed by Whitman within the past three years.

Three years is the statute of limitations on this sort of thing, so Diaz Santillan can't claim wages all the way back to when she was first hired in 2000.

Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the Department of Industrial Relations, said that in such cases a conference between the employer and the employee is typically scheduled within 30 days. No such conference has yet been scheduled in this case. If the case does not resolve at that point, it goes to an administrative hearing.

----------------------------------

since when is it a law or anything that says anyone will get a present, card, money, or anything when a baby is born. Most employers DO NOT do that

Oh and another thing.....Jail her and deport her already!
Why is she still shoving herself on us!

Nikki Diass is a liar and a thief, Trust me her anchor baby will receive plenty of cards(food stamp, medical,green,etc.) and the gift of a better life all thanks to the taxpaying Americans. This blood sucking tick needs to GO HOME NOW!!!Everybodies watching this Nappy!

This criminal, illegal invading thief is still here! Why isn't this scam artist in jail, awaiting deportation/

And I wonder who's paying Gloria's legal fees in this matter. I doubt she took this on a contingency and you know damn well she doesn't come cheap. Certainly more than this illegal invader could ever afford.

Can we get Allred to sue Clinton, Bush, and Obama for back wages that were stolen from us and given to illegal aliens?

All she wants is the $6k? Give it to her, charge her and jail her on felony charges, then deport her when her sentence is over. End of drama!

If Whitman gives her the money, then Whitman will be accused of trying to buy her off. It should be against the law for illegal aliens to sue in this country anyway. They come here knowing that they are breaking the law, they have a sense of entitlement toward this country and believe that we all owe them. Then when they get hurt on the job or don't get paid what they think they should, they sue the employer and many of them have done so successfully. Personally, I think some of the judges in these cases should be impeached.
