A federal agency with only 230 employees has a full-time public affairs staff of three dedicated to responding to media inquiries, even though it appears to have received only about a dozen notable media inquiries between July 2013 and January 2014.

A Washington Examiner review of more than 5,000 pages of emails from Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director of Public Affairs John Arnold and others in the agency showed that he granted none of the requested interviews.
