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 10, 2018, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Neff Motivation, Inc., Data Entry,
Accounting and Customer Services, Jostens, Inc. division, a
subsidiary of Newell Brands, Inc., including workers whose
wages were reported under Jostens, Inc., Greenville, Ohio
("Neff Motivation, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of graduation products
that include letterman jackets, chenille patches, plaques,
banners, apparel, and Jostens scholastic products (rings,
announcements, etc.). The subject worker group is engaged in
activities related to the supply of data entry, accounting and
customer services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 supply of service like
or directly competitive with services supplied by the worker
group and acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Neff Motivation,
Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Neff Motivation,
Inc., Data Entry, Accounting and Customer Services, Jostens,
Inc. division, a subsidiary of Newell Brands, Inc., including
workers whose wages were reported under Jostens, Inc.,
Greenville, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of data entry, accounting and customer 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 Neff Motivation, Inc., Data Entry,
Accounting and Customer Services, Jostens, Inc. division, a
subsidiary of Newell Brands, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported under Jostens, Inc.,
Greenville, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after October 9, 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 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 20th day of December 2018.
