WASHINGTON, October 8 — Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and the Department of Labor have recognized eight winners of the 7th annual New Freedom Initiative Award for their outstanding efforts to improve employment opportunities for people with disabilities, including former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Abbott, who was presented one of two SPIRIT (Strength, Perseverance, Integrity, Role-model, Independence, Trailblazer) awards.
"The examples and best practices that we highlight today will hopefully provide insight and ideas for different strategies to help Americans with disabilities become fulfilled, contributing members of our workforce," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao.
