ESSELTE CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ONIN STAFFING, RESOURCE
MANUFACTURING, AND EXPRESS EMPLOYMENT PROFESSIONALS
MORRISTOWN, TENNESSEE

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on July 27, 2012, applicable to workers and former
workers of Esselte Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from Onin Staffing, Morristown, Tennessee. The Department’s
Notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on
August 9, 2012 (77 FR 47673). Workers were engaged in employment
related to the production of envelope and legal pads.
At the request of a duly authorized representative, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm.
The company reports that workers leased from Resource
Manufacturing and Express Employment Professionals were employed
on-site at the Morristown, Tennessee location of Esselte
Corporation, Morristown, Tennessee. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control
of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Resource
Manufacturing and Express Employment Professionals working on-
site at the Morristown, Tennessee location of Esselte
Corporation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,811 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Esselte Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Onin Staffing, Resource
Manufacturing, and Express Employment Professionals,
Morristown, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 17, 2011,
through July 27, 2014, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two
years from the date of certification, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of
Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 28th day of December, 2012

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers’ firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers’ firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers’
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 18, 2012 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Esselte Corporation, Morristown, Tennessee (Esselte
Corporation). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of envelopes and legal pads. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in such workers’ firm have become totally
or partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article like
or directly competitive with the article produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Esselte Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Esselte Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing, Morristown,
Tennessee, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of envelopes and legal pads meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:
“All workers of Esselte Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Onin Staffing, Morristown, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 17, 2011 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended.”
