I received a call from this phone number - from a person claiming to be a supervisor named Erin Favor with the Department of Labor's Division of Occupational Safety and Health. He left a 360-416-3040 call-back number, and claimed, when I inquired, that he was in their Mount Vernon, Washington offices. He stated that he had a copy of a labor complaint I filed regarding a child labor workplace safety issue, and he said it was going no further; however, he was not familiar with the Washington State Labor Laws in question, that other L&I employees had referred me through as being very definite, and he refused to provide a copy of his negative phone communication in writing. That is, when I requested this response in writing, he said I wouldn't be getting ANYTHING in writing.
I am presently contacting other individuals with the Labor Department because it does not sound legitimate, and it sounded very fishy.
