Michael F. Trupo

Washington, DC Employment and Training Administration (ETA)

In April of 2009, Michael Trupo was placed on detail to serve as an ETA liaison to the Office of Public Affairs. Within weeks he had streamlined the process of responding to media inquiries. Mr. Trupo's extensive knowledge of ETA programs and ability to handle multiple complex media inquiries allowed the press response function of OPA to be maintained as that office reached full staff capacity in mid-2009. In June of 2009, Mr. Trupo was approached by both Senior Advisor for Public Affairs Carl Fillichio and Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training Jane Oates. Both asked him to come on-board as the OPA public affairs director for ETA. At the time, Mr. Trupo had no experience speaking with the media. Not only was he able to learn the mechanics of the job, but it was clear that he had an innate ability to get at the heart of media inquiries and advance the priorities of his agency and department. Within a matter of weeks he had gone from a program-office staffer to the official spokesman for one of the department's largest agencies. In April of 2010, he played an integral role in responding to media inquiries related to the Upper Big Branch mining tragedy. With no notice, he was sent to MSHA headquarters to organize agency staff and leadership in their responses to media questions. In less than 24 hours, he had ensured a steady flow of accurate information from MSHA leadership to OPA and members of the media. He established an instant rapport with MSHA officials during a time of stress and crisis and this led to their cooperation in responding to a flood of urgent, high-pressure media inquiries. From responding to a daily influx of media questions, to developing and implementing outreach plans around successful projects, Mr. Trupo has distinguished himself among his peers as a public affairs specialist who can both cover major programs day in and day out and be dropped into any crisis situation. He can also be relied on to craft talking points, remarks and op-ed pieces for senior staff including Secretary Solis.

Mr. Trupo has outstanding competence and interest in any area of public administration.

Mr. Trupo shows exceptional leadership and results are shown through direction or development of programs. He was the initial OPA point of contact for two very successful ETA projects: the Tools for America's Job Seekers Challenge and mySkills myFuture online career portal. He guided the ETA team through the process of rolling out these initiatives and leveraged resources within OPA to ensure that these programs were well-known among stakeholders and members of the public.

Mr. Trupo is an exceptional writer who has the ability to create unique articles and speeches on a wide range of employment and training topics. He writes with a voice and style that make complex government initiatives both understandable and interesting for readers. When responding to media inquiries, he draws on a deep understanding of many ETA programs. He has - and continues to - develop contacts at all levels of the agency to respond to media inquiries and gain knowledge of agency programs.

Mr. Trupo puts in the hours and effort to get the job done. He understands that getting information to the media, and by extension, to the public, is his duty as a public servant.

Chad Hancher

Arlington, VA Mine Saftey and Health Administration (MSHA)

Mr. Hancher began his federal career at the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) on June 25, 2006, and very soon became the go to person in the Agency when data and data analysis were needed in the area of mine safety and health. The sheer amount of both current and historical data available in MSHA's data warehouse is voluminous, and the ability to successfully mine and analyze this data is both a science and an art. In this regard, Mr. Hancher has used a high level of creativity and resourcefulness in providing exceptionally high quality data and data analysis to executives at MSHA, the Congress, news media, and numerous other stakeholders. Indeed, it is by no means an exaggeration to say that few persons in the history of MSHA have achieved such a high level of skill in performing these duties. As a result, Mr. Hancher's value to the Agency is critical.

This is why, in April of 2010, the Agency turned to Mr. Hancher after the Upper Big Branch mine disaster to provide analysis and data to our most high-level stakeholder, the President of the United States. Mr. Hancher was instrumental in helping to prepare a report for the President which outlined the preliminary causes of the explosion, the violation history of the mine, MSHA's actions at the mine, and preliminary corrective actions.

Although Mr. Hancher's work is always of a high caliber, one of the qualities most admired is his work ethic. Mr. Hancher's dedication to duty is tireless. Even though he always has a full workload he willingly accepts additional responsibilities. As a result, Mr. Hancher's regularly works overtime and travels. Currently, he is spending a significant amount of time working as a member of MSHA's Upper Big Branch internal review team in West Virginia. Despite these extra responsibilities, Mr. Hancher continues to excel in his regular day-to-day responsibilities. This includes providing leadership to the Agency and its employees in the design and development of new data analysis tools and programs.

Young people like Mr. Hancher who excel in government service serve as role models for employees of all ages, and will become the foundation of the agencies they serve in the future.

Rubayyi Salaam

Mountainside, New JerseyOffice of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)

Compliance Officer (CO) Rubayyi Salaam has been very instrumental in effectuating the Agency's vision of assuring "Good Jobs for Everyone"; by continuously leading by example and yielding exemplary results for MDO. Her level of excellence displays the promise of being one of OFCCP's future leaders and gives hope that the American public will remain governed by one who is steadfast in the continuance of leveling the playing field for all.

Her ability to identify, investigate and remedy systemic discrimination within her 2.5 year tenure is unprecedented and warrants special recognition. Under the supervision of Assistant District Director Regina G. Jones, Compliance Officer Salaam conducted an investigation that identified systemic discrimination findings at Washington Group International, Princeton, New Jersey, which resulted in a total settlement of $1,189,233.34 comprised of $357,347.44 in backpay and interest, $43,564.03 in benefits paid to 31 minority affected class members and $783,322.00 in annualized for 8 minority applicants receiving job offers from the contractor, with an additional amount of $5,000.00 for training. CO Salaam was reassigned the evaluation due to office resources to conduct Conciliation Agreement monitoring based on the contractor being cited with applicant tracking and record keeping violations. As a result of CO Salaam's dedication and hard work, she identified systemic issues with the contractor's selection and requisition processes. Due to these findings this case was settled under a Conciliation Agreement and; a Consent Decree to be issued based on the contractor violating the Conciliation Agreement reporting requirements. Her analysis was well documented in an accurate, report with appropriate recommendations in accordance with the regulations, laws, compliance manual and written policy directives. Her case file and chronology logs reflect the action taken in the order in which they were conducted. CO Salaam was also instrumental in the conciliation process whereby she participated in the Regional Office presentation to the Director of Regional Operation and Regional Solicitor, participated in conciliation meetings with the contractor, assisted with the development of the make whole remedies, and development of the financial worksheets.

Even though CO Salaam was held to task on one of the most difficult evaluations, she was able to close 13 additional evaluations with the majority of the cases citing contractors for recordkeeping violations and past performance violations for EO11246, 4212 and Section 503.

In CO Salaam's tenure, she has closed a total of 39 evaluations, of which 50% were closed with Conciliation Agreements citing contractors for recordkeeping and positive outreach and recruitment for persons with disabilities and veterans. Because of efforts with Conciliation Agreement monitoring for veterans, one of the contractors cited for outreach and recruitment hired 2 Veterans totaling $57,200.00 in annualized salaries. Her close adherence to the basic principles of public service through integrity and dedication to her duty as a public servant is justifiable and reflective in her efforts and results.

Her compliance assistance given to contractors has resulted in better relationships between MDO and contractors, new recruitment sources for the contractor and MDO, and an expansion in our community contacts. CO Salaam's ability to represent OFCCP in the public arena in such an articulate and professional manner, while continuing to identify and remedy systemic discrimination findings, supports this most deserving recognition to such a well-rounded Compliance Officer.

Luiz Antonio Santos

Washington, DC Office of Inspector General (OIG)

Mr. Luiz Santos began his Federal government service at the United States Department of Labor (DOL) on June 22, 2008, as a Master of Business Administration (MBA) Fellow. During his tenure with the program, Mr. Santos served in 5 DOL agencies to include the Office of the Inspector General; the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy; the Occupational Safety and Health Administration; the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management/Center for Program Planning and Results and the Office for Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs; and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management/Civil Rights Center. In each case Mr. Santos reported directly to senior executives and distinguished himself as an emerging leader with a keen ability to successfully manage multi-disciplinary responsibilities involving a host of Department of Labor programs.

Mr. Santos' sound work skills and ethic, professionalism and dedication to ensuring a job well done is unequivocal. Since June 2010, Mr. Santos has served as the Special Assistant to the Assistant Inspector General for Management and Policy. Mr. Santos manages complex projects in human resources, budget, procurement, information technology and congressional affairs with impeccable attention to detail.

Mr. Santos reviewed and updated the library of OIG management policy directives to ensure accurate and current policy direction for the agency on matters such as telework; dealing with the media; use of recruitment, retention, and relocation incentives; and approval of outside employment. The OIG is an independent agency operating within DOL, making this requirement for accurate and current OIG policy guidance imperative. In September 2010, Mr. Santos again demonstrating his innovation and creative - thinking enhanced the project results by redesigning and augmenting the OIG intranet website with a page dedicated to the OIG management and policy directives.

Mr. Santos was instrumental in developing and strengthening performance language in the OIG SES performance plans. OIG has independent delegated authority under the IG Reform Act of 2008. The performance plan plans were necessary to obtaining SES certification from OPM which occurred on August 16, 2010.

Mr. Santos utilized his expert knowledge of business administration to develop the FY 2010 OIG administrative operating plan for OIG budget, procurement, human resources, information technology, and facilities management. Mr. Santos' work in this area ensures that the Office of Management and Policy provides the highest level and most efficient services to OIG offices nationwide.

In June 2009, Mr. Santos was assigned to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy to work for the Senior Advisor to Secretary Solis. He assisted her in her role as DOL's liaison to the White House Task Force on the Middle Class. In that capacity, he organized and monitored efforts to implement Presidential Executive Orders across multiple agencies by developing, reviewing, and analyzing goals and performance measures for multiple Federal programs related to the Task Force. Mr. Santos also developed and implemented tools to analyze, track and report on activities and outcomes associated with the Task Force, including the creation of project management systems to track the progress of nationwide projects totaling approximately three billion dollars in Federal funds.

In March 2009, Mr. Santos was assigned to the OSHA Boston Regional Office (OSHA Region I). During this assignment he assisted the Cooperative and State Programs section through coordinating outreach events for OSHA's Voluntary Protection Program and prepared statistical grant analysis of State Plans for Region I. In addition, Mr. Santos worked with OSHA's Enforcement Program and Technical Support section and worked on responses to congressional inquiries, researched and reported on ergonomic complaints. Mr. Santos analyzed all enforcement operations of the agency to develop a comprehensive multi-phase evaluation of OSHA Region I operations, including the creation of a new manpower utilization model based on the demands and characteristics of each local office. The statistical model included multiple empirical factors such as number of establishments and employees covered, number of work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses, and number of inspections conducted. Since its inception, the model has been used by management multiple times to determine the manpower needs of each local office.

From early November 2008 to late February 2009, Mr. Santos served in OASAM's Center for Program Planning and Results (CPPR). Mr. Santos' main contribution was assisting in DOL's transition planning. Working for a career senior executive charged with leading and ensuring a smooth transition to the next presidential administration, Mr. Santos was immersed in the development and review of Departmental briefing materials that included more than twenty agency-specific briefing books, key policy issues, and summaries of sensitive programmatic issues of which the incoming team should be aware. Mr. Santos directly and effectively assisted in the development of these volumes of transition materials. During this time, DOL was benefited by Mr. Santos' keen organizational skills, creative abilities and political savvy that kept the transition team members involved and on track in meeting required deliverables.

On January 20, 2009, the senior executive with whom Mr. Santos worked, assumed an additional role as the Interim Director of the Department's Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs (OCIA). The senior executive immediately relied on Mr. Santos to assist in the OCIA responsibilities – which included dealing regularly and directly with Congressional staff and senior Departmental officials. Mr. Santos handled all interactions – many of which were sensitive in nature and time-critical – with the highest professionalism and aplomb.

Mr. Santos again excelled in the talents and skills he is so well known for – organizational management, ingenuity, professionalism and insight when he worked with the OASAM Civil Rights Center, reporting directly to the Director. During his tenure with the CRC, Mr. Santos, on his own initiative, developed, initiated and successfully executed marketing and public relations strategies for the Federal Hispanic Career Advancement Summit – a historic federal training event supported by 37 governmental agencies. Simply put, on each day of his rotation, Mr. Santos served as a key asset to the CRC organization whose direct contributions resulted in an extremely successful event, the Federal Hispanic Career Advancement Summit.

In conclusion, Mr. Santos is dedicated to excellence and is very committed to the goals and mission of the Department of Labor. He treats others with respect, handles setbacks with a sense of humor and steps up to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Mr. Santos' impressive career at the Department of Labor, albeit only two years and four months, demonstrates the qualities of accountability, responsibility, diligence and emerging leadership skills that display the promise of future leadership in the spirit of former Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz; and makes him an outstanding recipient of this prestigious award.

As an individual, Mr. Huynh is widely recognized within the Department as the Subject Matter Expert in all areas relating to contact center customer satisfaction services and solutions. Mr. Huynh has been providing direct technical and program support to Job Corps in selection of new vendors, reviewing technical proposals and providing recommendations of solid program requirements and viable cost effective solutions to improve customer services and enhance program accountability.

Going above and beyond the call of his public service commitments has been a theme of Mr. Huynh's employment with DOL by demonstrating versatility of his professional contributions and ability to successfully implement.

Daniel Garza

Dallas, TX Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM)

Mr. Garza officially began his Federal career in September 2006, when he accepted a career appointment as a Program Analyst in OASAM's Dallas Regional Office. Prior to that, Mr. Garza served as a part time student intern while attending college. The diversity of Mr. Garza's talent and interests quickly became apparent. While a student intern, he initially worked in the Human Resources Office and later joined the Information Technology (IT) Branch. Some of his contributions include playing key roles in developing and delivering a presentation on "generations in the workplace";, installing new equipment and systems, and tracking property.

In September 2006, upon completion of his Bachelor's Degree in Finance from the University of Texas at Dallas, Mr. Garza became a full time, permanent member of the OASAM team. His initial appointment was as a Program Analyst in the Regional Finance Office. With consolidation of regional financial services, Mr. Garza transferred to the Division of Safety, Technology, and Emergency Preparedness in 2008. He brought all his accumulated talents to the newly created Division and concentrated on implementing new procedures to aid other Division members. One of his first accomplishments was to automate the tracking of all Safety Inspections. Previously, this had been done by pen and paper; however, Mr. Garza created reports and data bases which allowed the Safety Manager to pull up a report, update it, and share it with the customer. This saved both time and paper costs. Mr. Garza took ownership of various projects for the Program Manager for Emergency Management and Security. He created a new data base for the emergency response team that was accessible to everyone on the team. The previous access was limited to one user, which diminished its effectiveness in case of a true emergency. He created the Customer Service Surveys specific to the Dallas/Denver Region and compiled their results into a report, thus allowing the management team to focus on the areas needing improvement while at the same time maintain the areas of excellence.

Mr. Garza's achievements were not limited to his official work duties. He has been active in the following community service organizations and initiatives:

• Combined Federal Campaign – Served as the Co-coordinator for DOL's Dallas area campaign in 2008. Under Mr. Garza's leadership, our campaign exceeded $100K for the first time ever, raising $106,421.
• The Salvation Army – Served as the Co-coordinator for our annual Salvation Army Angel Tree and Toy Drive in 2009. Mr. Garza's efforts resulted in DOL employees adopting and providing gifts for 324 children and seniors and a total of 1,515 toys and gifts valued at $22,730.
• The American Red Cross – Along with his teammates, Mr. Garza actively supports DOL's quarterly blood drives by setting up the donation area and promoting employee participation.
• The North Texas Food Bank – Serves as a volunteer collecting canned food during the annual State Fair food drive.
• Downtown Dallas Earthfest – Served as DOL's Co-coordinator in 2008 and Coordinator in 2010, recruiting about 25 DOL volunteers each year to participate in downtown wide clean up and beautification projects. Under Mr. Garza's leadership, DOL has the second largest volunteer team, outnumbered only by EPA who serves as a primary event sponsor.
• Dallas Deaf Action Center (DAC) – Mr. Garza is actively involved with the DAC and was recently invited to serve as a Board Member. He serves as a positive role model and mentor and embraces the opportunity to connect with and serve others who may have a disability.
• DOL Disability Job Fair - Mr. Garza was a committee member and played a key role in planning DOL's first annual disability job fair held October 2010 in Dallas. Mr. Garza made numerous and significant contributions in planning the event, and through his involvement with the DAC, was instrumental in the event being very well-attended by individuals who are deaf.

Mr. Garza represents the Secretary's goal of "Good Jobs for Everyone," both personally and professionally. He has never let his deafness hinder his growth and contributions in the Department. His computer based skills correlated with the Department's "green" initiative by eliminating the excess use of paper and the duplication of work. The automation of the reports he developed resulted in more time for the Safety Manager to do actual inspections and ergonomic studies, rather than fill out paperwork. The end result is a safer and more productive work environment for all employees in the region. This is documented by the fact that there were no work-related injuries in OASAM in FY10, which was the first time such a positive result has been achieved. Mr. Garza's accomplishments reflect positively upon the Department as being an employer where everyone who wants to work can overcome their disability, find a good job and progress upward as far as their talents will take them. His contributions are consistent with the mission of the Willard Wirtz library to establish an information repository and access point that supports the day-to-day regulating duties of OASAM.

Uche Egemonye

Atlanta, GA Office of the Solicitor (SOL)

Uche Egemonye has been employed as an attorney with the Atlanta Regional Solicitor's Office since August 23, 2006. Her accomplishments, however, greatly exceed her short tenure. Ms. Egemonye has litigated some of the most challenging, complex, and significant cases in several different program areas, including OFCCP, MSHA, ERISA, and Wage Hour. Described below are some accomplishments which highlight her efforts to provide high-quality worker protection enforcement and provide "Good Jobs for Everyone.";

Within just a few months of her arrival, Ms. Egemonye was in court with one other attorney, trying a systemic race discrimination case against Bank of America on behalf of OFCCP. In this case, the bank is zealously represented by one of the top employment law firms in the country. Indeed, the case has been in litigation for over ten years because of the bank's contentious tactics. Moreover, the factual and legal issues involved in trying a systemic discrimination case are complicated. Ms. Egemonye's involvement has included working with an expert witness, a labor economist; taking and defending depositions; extensive research; trial preparation; motion practice; trying the liability phase of the case; and writing several post-hearing briefs. Earlier this year, the Department received a favorable recommended decision regarding liability, finding that Bank of America had discriminated against African-American job applicants in 1993 and from 2002 to 2005. This decision was widely publicized and was of great significance to OFCCP and the Department. Ms. Egemonye and her colleague are now in the process of preparing this case for the remedy phase of the trial. Ms. Egemonye was among the recipients of the Atlanta Federal Executive Board Outstanding Team Award - Bank of America Discrimination Litigation Team in May 2010, chosen by a blue ribbon panel from among scores of nominees from all Federal agencies in the Southeast.

In the Wage Hour program, Ms. Egemonye has worked on numerous cases involving non-immigrant workers, a program on which Wage Hour has placed increased emphasis. She has successfully resolved an H-1B case against N-League Services, Inc., involving 16 employees of a software consultancy firm. Under the settlement agreement, the defendant paid $109,953.13 in back wages and Civil Money Penalties. Currently, Ms. Egemonye is working on the J&R Baker matter, a significant case involving an agricultural employer who hired non-immigrant farm workers under the H-2A program but failed to ensure that the H-2A workers and the domestic workers in corresponding employment were paid the required ¾ guarantee of the hours for which the work contract was in effect. This violation affects 250 workers and involves a total of $1.4 million in back wages and $125,000 in civil money penalties. The employer also failed to comply with the Migrant Seasonal Protection Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Ms. Egemonye also provided great assistance in preparation for this office's first FLSA trial against Tyson Foods. This case, which involved the compensability of donning and doffing of protective equipment, was one of the most significant FLSA lawsuits that the Department has tried in recent years. Shortly before trial, the Court required the Department to make all potential employees witnesses available for deposition. Ms. Egemonye defended many of those depositions, and was responsible for contactingemployees to arrange interviews and attendance at trial. She also attended the first few days of trial in order to assist the attorneys trying the case.In May 2010, Ms. Egemonye received the Secretary's Exceptional Achievement Award for her work on the Tyson Foods Legal Team.

In the MSHA area, Ms. Egemonye tried a particularly important case against Jim Walter Resources, Inc. ("JWR";), a large Alabama-based mining operation, defending the first challenge to MSHA's Final Rule on the Sealing of Underground Coal Mines. This was a highly contentious, hard-fought, expedited case, and was a top priority for MSHA. The case involved numerous depositions; working with experts; video cross-examination of an opposing expert with no preparation time; preparation of written testimony by expert; and filing motions both before and during trial. Moreover, because it was an expedited case, everything had to be done on an accelerated basis. The Department received a favorable decision from Judge Melick, and JWR has not appealed it. Richard Gates, the District Manager for MSHA District 11 (coal), whose office was involved with this challenge, commended Ms. Egemonye for her hard work on the case. In May 2010, she received the Secretary's Exceptional Achievement Award for her work on the "MSHA's Rule on Sealing of Abandoned Areas Legal Defense Team.";

Ms. Egemonye has also engaged in complex ERISA litigation. For example, she initiated litigation in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida (Miami Division), against Orrin and Linda Cope, fiduciaries of the Orrin H. Cope Produce, Inc. Employees' Profit Sharing Plan, and the plan sponsor, Orrin H. Cope Produce, Inc., for certain prohibited transactions in which the defendants transferred $3,780,000 in plan assets to the company. Although the Defendants identified these transfers as loans, the Defendants failed to restore the full amount of the transactions to the Plan. Both before and after filing the complaint, Ms. Egemonye engaged in substantial, ultimately successful negotiations with the fiduciaries. As a result of her efforts the fiduciaries repaid $370,035.26 to ten plan participants on May 31, 2010. The remaining five participants, all members of the Cope family, agreed to receive a pro rata share of the remaining amount of $56,108.27 to ensure that the nonfamily members were paid in full. This second group also agreed to waive the balance of their distributions. This settlement concluded a highly complex case in which the company alleged that its use of Plan assets to fund their business was "prohibited, but not illegal."; Additionally, the fiduciaries agreed to be permanently enjoined from serving as fiduciaries. The Department's litigation and settlement received substantial press attention in both trade publications and general newspapers such as the Miami Herald.

Ms. Egemonye's outstanding performance and accomplishments clearly display the promise of future leadership in the spirit of former Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz.
