In carrying out this mission, the Department administers a variety of Federal labor laws guaranteeing workers' rights to safe and healthful working conditions, a minimum hourly wage and overtime pay, freedom from employment discrimination, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation. The Department also protects workers' pension rights; provides for job training programs; helps workers find jobs; works to strengthen free collective bargaining; and keeps track of changes in employment, prices, and other national economic measurements. As the Department seeks to assist all Americans who need and want to work, special efforts are made to meet the unique job market problems of older workers, youths, minority group members, women, the handicapped, and other groups. The Department of Labor (DOL), ninth executive department, was created by act of March 4, 1913 (29 U.S.C. 551). A Bureau of Labor was first created by Congress in 1884 under the Interior Department. The Bureau of Labor later became independent as a Department of Labor without executive rank. It again returned to bureau status in the Department of Commerce and Labor, which was created by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501). Office of the Secretary of Labor Secretary The Secretary is the head of the Department of Labor and the principal adviser to the President on the development and execution of policies and the administration and enforcement of laws relating to wage earners, their working conditions, and their employment opportunities. Inspector General The Office of Inspector General is responsible for providing comprehensive, independent, and objective audit and investigation programs to identify and report program deficiencies and improve the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of operations. The Office also is responsible for ensuring employee and program integrity through prevention and detection of criminal activity, unethical conduct, and program fraud and abuse. The Office provides for departmental participation in investigations under the Department of Justice's Organized Crime Strike Force Program. The Office also maintains a toll-free hotline telephone for complaints of fraud, waste, and abuse of Department resources. The number is 800-347-3756, or 202-219-5227 in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. ---------------------------(TABLE START)--------------------------- Regional Offices -- Office of Inspector General (Areas included within each region are indicated on the map in Appendix A.) head level 1 :Region/Address head level 1 :Office of Audit head level 1 :Office of Investigations ----------------------------------------------------------------- I, II.

The Office develops policies and prepares program directives to regional offices and State agencies on the administration and funding of reemployment services, and develops and maintains a system for allocating funds to those offices and agencies for reemployment services. It also directs and conducts industry studies of the number of workers in a domestic industry likely to be certified as eligible for adjustment assistance and of the extent to which existing training and employment programs may facilitate the workers' adjustment to import competition when an industry petitions the Federal Government that it is being injured because of import competition. For further information, call 202-219-0555. Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training The National Apprenticeship Act (29 U.S.C. 50) was passed in 1937 to enable the Department of Labor to formulate and promote the furtherance of labor standards necessary to safeguard the welfare of apprentices and cooperate with the States in the promotion of such standards, and to bring together employers and labor for the formulation of programs of apprenticeship. Sponsors and potential sponsors are encouraged and assisted in the development, expansion, and improvement of apprenticeship and other forms of allied industrial training. Technical information on training methods, public training facilities, and successfully executed systems are made available to industry. Through field representatives in States, the Bureau works closely with employers, labor unions, vocational schools, community planning groups, and others concerned with apprenticeship. Programs must meet standards established by the Bureau or a recognized State Apprenticeship Council to be registered. Field compliance reviews are conducted to determine conformity with Federal equal employment opportunity and other standards for apprenticeship and training. For further information, call 202-219-0540. Job Training Partnership Act The Office of Job Training Programs is responsible for the development and issuance of Federal procedures and policies pertaining to the operation of the Job Training Partnership Act (29 U.S.C. 1501 note) programs. Under the act, the Secretary of Labor makes block grants to the 50 States, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, American Samoa, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and the District of Columbia. The goal of the act is to train or retrain and place eligible individuals in permanent, unsubsidized employment, preferably in the private sector. Eligible individuals are primarily economically disadvantaged individuals, in particular economically disadvantaged youth, dislocated workers, and others who face significant barriers to employment. The act also provides that a fixed percentage of the block grant be used for programs for older individuals. The Job Training Partnership Act may be used for a variety of purposes including classroom instruction in occupational skills and other job-related training; on-the-job training; recruitment; orientation; counseling; testing; and placements and supportive services. In addition to the block grants, the act provides for national programs for special target groups such as Native Americans and migrant and seasonal farmworkers. It also provides authority for the Job Corps, a residential training program for disadvantaged youth. The act is open-ended legislation and was signed into law on October 13, 1982. Implementing regulations for the act issued by the Department of Labor are contained in title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 626-636 and 675-684. For further information, call 202-219-0236. Senior Community Service Employment Program Authorized by title V of the Older Americans Act (42 U.S.C. 3056), the program makes subsidized, part-time job opportunities in community service activities available to low-income persons aged 55 and above. Project grants are made to national-level public and private nonprofit agencies and to units of State governments. The distribution of funds among the States is governed by a statutory apportionment formula. For further information, call 202-219-0500.

The act requires administrators of private pension and welfare plans to provide plan participants with easily understandable summaries of plans; to file those summaries with the agency; and to report annually on the financial operation of the plans and bonding of persons charged with handling plan funds and assets. Plan administrators must also meet strict fiduciary responsibility standards that are enforced by PWBA. The Administration is charged with assuring responsible management of nearly 1 million pension plans and 4\1/2\ million health and welfare plans, and is the national guardian of a vast private retirement and welfare benefit system. Its major activities include: formulating current and future policy; conducting research; issuing regulations and technical guidance concerning ERISA requirements; enforcing ERISA requirements; and assisting and educating the public and the employee benefits community about ERISA. The Administration is enforced through its 15 field offices nationwide and the national office in Washington, DC. Vesting, participation, and funding standards are primarily administered by the Internal Revenue Service. ---------------------------(TABLE START)--------------------------- Field Offices -- Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration head level 1 :Area/Address head level 1 :Director ----------------------------------------------------------------- Atlanta, GA (Rm. 205, 1371 Peachtree St. NE., 30367) .......

The Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 (30 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) gave the Administration strong enforcement provisions to protect the Nation's coal miners and, in 1977, the Congress passed amendments which strengthened the act, expanding its protections and extending its provisions to the noncoal mining industry. The Administration develops and promulgates mandatory safety and health standards, ensures compliance with such standards, assesses civil penalties for violations, and investigates accidents. It cooperates with and provides assistance to the States in the development of effective State mine safety and health programs, improves and expands training programs in cooperation with the States and the mining industry, and, in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of the Interior, contributes to the improvement and expansion of mine safety and health research and development. All of these activities are aimed at preventing and reducing mine accidents and occupational diseases in the mining industry. The statutory responsibilities of the Administration are administered by a headquarters staff located at Arlington, VA, reporting to the Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health and by a field network of district, subdistrict, and field offices, technology centers, and the Approval and Certification Center.

It has no enforcement or regulatory functions. The Bureau collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates data relating to employment, unemployment, and other characteristics of the labor force; prices and consumer expenditures; wages, other worker compensation, and industrial relations; productivity and technological change; economic growth and employment projections; and occupational safety and health. Most of the data are collected in surveys conducted by the Bureau, the Bureau of the Census (on a contract basis), or on a cooperative basis with State agencies. The Bureau strives to have its data satisfy a number of criteria, including: relevance to current social and economic issues, timeliness in reflecting today's rapidly changing economic conditions, accuracy and consistently high statistical quality, and impartiality in both subject matter and presentation.

Veterans' Employment and Training Service The Veterans' Employment and Training Service is the component of the Department of Labor administered by the Assistant Secretary for Veterans' Employment and Training. The Assistant Secretary is the principal advisor to the Secretary of Labor in the formulation and implementation of all departmental policies, procedures, and regulations affecting veterans and is responsible for administering veterans' employment and training programs and activities through the Service to ensure that legislative and regulatory mandates are accomplished. The Service carries out its responsibilities for directing the Department's veterans' employment and training programs through a nationwide network that includes Regional Administrators, Directors (in each State) and Assistant Directors (one for each 250,000 veterans in each State) for Veterans' Employment and Training, Assistant Regional Administrators and Area Agents for Veterans' Reemployment Rights, Veterans' Program Specialists, and program support staff. The Service field staff works closely with and provides technical assistance to State Employment Security Agencies and Job Training Partnership Act grant recipients to ensure that veterans are provided the priority services required by law. They also coordinate with employers, labor unions, veterans service organizations, and community organizations through planned public information and outreach activities. Federal contractors are provided management assistance in complying with their veterans affirmative action and reporting obligations. Also administered by the Assistant Secretary through the Service is the Job Training Partnership Act, title IV, part C grant program designed to meet the employment and training needs of service-connected disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and veterans recently separated from military service. IV-C grants are awarded and monitored through the Service's national office and field staff. Certain other Service staff also administer the veterans reemployment rights program. They provide assistance to help restore job, seniority, and pension rights to veterans following absences from work for active military service and to protect employment and retention rights of members of the Reserve or National Guard. ---------------------------(TABLE START)--------------------------- Regional Administrators/State Directors -- Veterans' Employment and Training Service (RA: Regional Administrator; D: Director) (Areas included within each region are indicated on the map in Appendix A.) head level 1 :Region/Address head level 1 :Director head level 1 :Telephone ----------------------------------------------------------------- REGION I Boston, MA (c/o Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 2d Fl., 19 Staniford St., 02114) .......
