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 February 15, 2011, on behalf of workers of Caraustar
Industries, Inc., Corporate Division, Information Technology
and Accounting Shared Services Groups, Austell, Georgia. The
workers provide corporate information technology and accounting
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Caraustar
Industries, Inc., Corporate Division, Information Technology
and Accounting Shared Services Groups, Austell, Georgia, who
are engaged in employment related to information technology
and accounting services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Caraustar
Industries, Inc., has shifted to a foreign country the supply
services like or directly competitive with the information
technology and accounting services supplied by the Information
Technology and Accounting Shared Services Groups.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to a foreign country by Caraustar Industries, Inc.,
contributed importantly to worker group separations in the
Information Technology and Accounting Shared Services Groups.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Caraustar Industries,
Inc., Corporate Division, Information Technology and
Accounting Shared Services Groups, Austell, Georgia, who are
engaged in employment related to information technology and
accounting 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 Caraustar Industries, Inc., Corporate
Division, Accounting Shared Services and Accounts Payable
Groups, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Austell, Georgia, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 14, 2010, 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 25th day of March, 2011
