Fisher Scones Maker Fined For Overworking Teens 1,500 Times
TUMWATER, WA — The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries is citing the maker of Fisher Scones for overworking teenagers on more than 1,500 occasions.
Conifer Specialties is a Woodland-based company, but their Fisher Scones are sold all over the state, and have been particularly popular in the past at the Washington State Fair.
The company drew the attention of Department of Labor and Industries when a teenager was hurt while using a mixer last fall. While investigating that accident, the department says they began to notice that the company appeared to be asking teens to work illegally long shifts.
Upon investigating further, the team says they found 1,560 times when teens worked beyond their legal hours. Of those, 426 violations involved children working when they should have been at school.
