Beryl,
Thanks for your inquiry about your request for FOIA investigative logs. Due to the Wage and Hour Division backlog on FOIA requests we have not started processing your request. However, some of the information you are requesting may be on the Enforcement Data website located at the follow address https://enforcedata.dol.gov/views/data_catalogs.php . Additionally, please note we generally do not release complaint information if release would invade privacy of the individual(s); therefore, that part of your request may withheld due to exemptions 6 and 7(C).
Ms. Michelle Moreno
