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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have
contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 9, 2012 by three workers of Schawk Retail
Marketing, Chicago Division, a subsidiary of Schawk, Chicago,
Illinois (Schawk Retail Marketing). The subject workers are
engaged in employment related to marketing communications and
print advertising services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Creative Circle, Aquent/Vitamin-T, Robert Half International
Creative Group, and Wunderland/Advanced Resources.
Workers at the subject firm are covered by a
certification that expired on February 25, 2012 (TA-W-73,014).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the marketing communications
and print advertising services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Schawk
Retail Marketing.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Schawk Retailing
Marketing, Chicago Division, a subsidiary of Schawk,
Chicago, Illinois, who are engaged in employment related to
the supply of marketing communications and print advertising
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 Schawk Retailing Marketing, Chicago
Division, a subsidiary of Schawk, including on-site
leased workers from Creative Circle, Aquent/Vitamin-T,
Robert Half International Creative Group, and
Wunderland/Advanced Resources, Chicago, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after February 26, 2012, 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 27th day of July, 2012.
