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 September 24, 2012 on behalf of workers of Cox Media
Group Ohio, Inc., Graphic Design Group, a subsidiary of Cox
Enterprises, Inc, Dayton, Ohio (Cox). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of graphic design
services. Workers are not separately identifiable by service
supplied.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with graphic design services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at Cox.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cox Media Group Ohio,
Inc., Graphic Design Group, a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc.,
Dayton, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of graphic design 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 Cox Media Group Ohio, Inc., Graphic Design Group,
a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, Inc., Dayton, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 20, 2011 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."
