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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 8, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Prestige Printing, a subsidiary of J.L. Wauford Inc.,
Madison, Tennessee. The workers supply accounts payable
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services and Randstand USA.
The investigation revealed that workers of Prestige
Printing, a subsidiary of J.L. Wauford, Inc., Madison, Tennessee
who are engaged in employment related to accounts payable
services meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of workers are threatened with separation from
employment during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
accounts payable services supplied by Prestige Printing, a
subsidiary of J.L. Wauford Inc., Madison, Tennessee has
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by Prestige Printing have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of accounts payable services by a
significant customer of Prestige Printing contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and sales declines
at the Prestige Printing.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Prestige Printing, a
subsidiary of J.L. Wauford, Inc., Madison, Tennessee, who are
engaged in employment related to accounts payable 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 Prestige Printing, a subsidiary of J.L.
Wauford, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services and Randstand USA, Madison, Tennessee, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 5, 2008, 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 12th day of November, 2009.
