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 March 10, 2010 on behalf of workers of Franklin
Resources, Inc., Global Branding and Advertising Division,
Creative Services Department, Graphic Design Production Group,
San Mateo, California (hereinafter referred to as Franklin
Resources, Graphic Design Production Group). The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and Aquent,
LLC. The workers supply graphic design production services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Franklin
Resources, Graphic Design Production Group, who supply graphic
design production services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because all workers at Franklin
Resources, Graphic Design Production Group were separated
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.



Criterion III has been met because the shift of graphic
design production services to Poland by Franklin Resources,
Graphic Design Production Group contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the San Mateo, California
facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Franklin Resources,
Inc., Global Branding and Advertising Division, Creative
Services Department, Graphic Design Production Group, San
Mateo, California, including on-site leased workers at Kelly
Services and Aquent, LLC, who supply graphic design production
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 Franklin Resources, Inc., Global Branding
and Advertising Division, Creative Services Department,
Graphic Design Production Group, San Mateo, California,
including on-site leased workers at Kelly Services and
Aquent, LLC, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 24, 2009, 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 20th day of May, 2010
