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 25, 2010, on behalf of workers of World Color Mt.
Morris, IL, LLC, Premedia Chicago Division, Schaumburg, Illinois.
The workers supply prepress services such as creative strategy,
concept, design, copywriting, production, proofreading, and project
management services.
The workers group includes on-site leased workers from The
Creative Group and Creative Circle.
The investigation revealed that workers of World Color Mt.
Morris, IL, LLC who are engaged in employment related to prepress
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers of the subject firm are threatened to become totally
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of prepress
services to India and China by World Color Mt. Morris, IL, LLC
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of World Color Mt. Morris,
IL, LLC, Premedia Chicago Division, Schaumburg, Illinois, who are
engaged in employment related to prepress 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 World Color Mt. Morris, IL, LLC, Premedia
Chicago Division, including on-site leased workers from The
Creative Group and Creative Circle, Schaumburg, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 21, 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.”
