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 February 22, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from The Creative Group and Prime Staffing,
Hoboken, New Jersey ("John Wiley & Sons, Inc."). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to production of
scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly journals and
related content and services to the academic, corporate, and
government libraries, including learned societies, and
individual researchers and professionals. The subject worker
group is engaged in activities related publishing and other
related services in support of the firm's production activities.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of John Wiley & Sons,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from The Creative Group
and Prime Staffing, Hoboken, New Jersey, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of scientific, technical,
medical, and scholarly journals and related content and services
to the academic, corporate, and government libraries, including
learned societies, and individual researchers and professionals
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 John Wiley & Sons, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from The Creative Group and Prime Staffing,
Hoboken, New Jersey, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 22, 2017
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
