GAO finds wage complaint handling failures in Labor Dept
GAO inspectors posed as workers and faked complaints to test the Labor Department's Wage and Hour Division. Investigators found nine of ten fake cases mishandled, with half not recorded in databases and several not investigated for months. The probe cites slow responses, poor data recording, and limited enforcement due to resources.
