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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of Cadmus
Communications, a subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc., Ephrata,
Pennsylvania. Workers at the subject firm specifically produce
pages for medical and scientific journals through electronic
transmission and publications. The petitioners allege that
worker separations were caused by a shift in production to
affiliate locations in India.
The subject firm also leased workers on-site from Mack
Employment, Tristar Staffing, and Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Cadmus
Communications, a subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc., Ephrata,
Pennsylvania are engaged in employment related to the
production of pages for medical and scientific journals
through electronic transmission and publications meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the firm have been separated from
2007 to 2008, and during the period of January through April
2009 when compared to the same time period in 2008.
Criterion II has been satisfied 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.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of pages for
medical and scientific journals through electronic
transmission and publications to India by Cadmus Communications
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Cadmus
Communications, a subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc., Ephrata,
Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cadmus
Communications, a subsidiary of Cenveo, Inc., Ephrata,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of pages for medical and scientific journals
through electronic transmission and publications 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 Cadmus Communications, a subsidiary of
Cenveo, Inc., Ephrata, Pennsylvania, including on-site
workers from Mack Employment, Tristar Staffing, and
Manpower, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 18, 2008, through two years from
the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on 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 31st day of August, 2009.
