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 October 23, 2017 by an other authorized representative
on behalf of workers of LEGO Systems, Inc., Legal, Corporate
IT-Marketing Management & Development, Americas-Brand,
Marketing & Digital Departments, a wholly owned subsidiary of
LEGO A/S, including workers whose wages were reported under
LEGO Brand Retail Inc., Enfield, Connecticut ("LEGO Systems,
Inc."). The workers the subject of the investigation are engaged
in activities related to the supply of supportive services to
the internal operations of the company.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and open
sources.
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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at LEGO Systems, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LEGO Systems, Inc.,
Legal, Corporate IT-Marketing Management & Development,
Americas-Brand, Marketing & Digital Departments, a wholly
owned subsidiary of LEGO A/S, including workers whose wages
were reported under LEGO Brand Retail Inc., Enfield,
Connecticut, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
supportive services 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 LEGO Systems, Inc., Legal, Corporate IT-
Marketing Management & Development, Americas-Brand,
Marketing & Digital Departments, a wholly owned
subsidiary of LEGO A/S, including workers whose wages
were reported under LEGO Brand Retail Inc., Enfield,
Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 20, 2016, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 15th day of November 2017.
