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 29, 2009 on behalf of workers of Reiman Media Group,
Inc., Information Technology Department, Greendale, Wisconsin
(hereinafter referred as RMG). The workers provided a variety of
information technology services. The worker group also includes
on-site leased worker from New Resources and KForce.
The investigation revealed that workers of RMG, who are
engaged in information technology services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
RMG workers has been separated in the last year.
Criterion II has been met because RMG has acquired from a
foreign country services that are like or directly competitive
with the information technology services provided by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
information technology services from a foreign country has
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Greendale, Wisconsin facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of RGM, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of information technology
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 Reiman Media Group, Inc., Information
Technology Department, Greendale, Wisconsin including on-site
leased workers from New Resources and KForce, Greendale,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 28, 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 28th day of August, 2009
