Labor Department publishes notice on April 17

The US Labor Department published a one page notice on April 17, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on Jockey International, Inc. Manufacturing Division Millen, GA; Including an Employee of Jockey International, Inc. Operating out of Greensboro, NC; Employed at Manufacturing Division Millen, GA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance; Findings of the Investigation.

The Department provides billions in unemployment insurance, which peaked around 2011 though spending had declined before the pandemic. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, claimed the Department funds "ineffective and duplicative services" and overregulates the workplace.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
