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 December 4, 2009 by on behalf of workers of Sheridan
Books, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan (Sheridan Books). The
workers, including on-site leased workers from Phoenix
Services, Kelly Services, and Action Associates are engaged in
activities related to the pre-press production of books.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sheridan Book
who are engaged in activities related to the pre-press
production of books meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the worker's firm
has acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with articles produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
activities related to the pre-press production of books from
India by Sheridan Books contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Sheridan Books.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sheridan Books, Inc.,
Ann Arbor, Michigan, including on-site leased workers from
Phoenix Services, Kelly Services, and Action Associates who are
engaged in activities related to the pre-press production of
books 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 Sheridan Books, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan,
including on-site leased workers from Phoenix Services,
Ann Arbor, Michigan, Kelly Services, Ann Arbor, Michigan,
and Action Associates, Brighton, Michigan, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 25, 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."
