	Secretary of Labor v. Cantera Green
		Second, the Secretary asserts that the judge "appeared to pick and choose" which of the criteria besides gravity and negligence were relevant for the purpose of justifying his lower penalty assessment.
		The Secretary asserts that while the judge made general findings on four of the criteria in a footnote, there is no indication that the judge applied those findings in determining the appropriate penalty for each of the violations.
		Finally, the Secretary argues that the judge assessed penalties which were inconsistent with the findings he did make since he assessed penalties in amounts lower than those proposed by the Secretary despite findings of high gravity and negligence.

		Where the Secretary of Labor exercises statutory power to reassign the duties of a lawfully confirmed Assistant Secretary of Labor whose duties are not otherwise assigned by statute, reconfirmation of the Assistant Secretary is not legally required.

		It is only when the DOL could think of nothing else that the agency took the labor certification regulations away from volume 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, where they had until then resided, and moved them to volume 20, which remains their home to the present day.
		If the Secretary of Labor declined to assume the burden of proof, he or she had better hope that the courts drew the same inference from the raw numbers as did the DOL.
		If the Secretary could not get information from the states quickly enough that would be the factual basis for the discharge of his or her statutory responsibility, perhaps the employer could be compelled to do so as the price of certification.

	IBP Inc. v. Secretary of Labor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		To address this problem, the Secretary of Labor began bringing enforcement actions against the employer responsible for a particular hazard, regardless of whether the employer's own employees were exposed to the danger.
		The Secretary has repeatedly argued that subsection (a)(1) creates a general duty running only to an employer's own employees, while (a)(2) creates a specific duty to comply with standards for the good of all employees on a common work site--the employer's own as well as anyone else's--that could be endangered by a violation.
		The Secretary's view has always been that because of the Act's broad ''remedial'' purpose, these references to the employment relationship were not intended to be restrictive or interpreted in the common law sense.

		ARB was established by an arbitrary, capricious Secretary of Labor Order of Secretary Reich in 1996, apparently as a means of creating a board of "team player" political appointees to subvert whistleblower laws in favor of influential employers, particularly the Department of Energy, its contractors and other federal agencies.
		ARB members have none of the experience or accountability of the Secretary of Labor, who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and who personally signed all decisions in whistleblower cases until June 1996.

		Similarly, the Secretary's attempt to analogize his function under the Act and the functions of a prosecutor under criminal statutes fails to distinguish the marked difference between criminal and civil statutes.
		Department of Labor statistics show that the penalty assessed against 95% of all employers who have received citations during the first two years of the Act's effectiveness has been the result of penalty proposals automatically becoming assessments because they were not contested.
