"The Labor Department offices are unsafe and in disrepair, with water leaking from ceilings, mold in kitchens, extreme temperatures from a failing HVAC system, insect traps filled with dead bugs and live insects in lactation rooms and work areas."
"We were informed that DOL is aware of this issue and has instructed people to only use certain trash cans for food because if they put food in just any old trash can, it will make this issue worse."
Employees from the Education Department working at the Labor Department face unsafe conditions, including inconsistent heating, mice infestations, and mold. A complaint filed with OSHA details issues like leaking ceilings, cockroaches, and inadequate food storage. Staff are advised to use specific trash cans to manage food waste and avoid worsening the pest problem. Photos provided by the union illustrate the poor conditions, including moldy refrigerators and extreme temperatures due to a failing HVAC system.
