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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of GatewayCDI Inc. DBA Brand Addition, including on-
site leased workers from Express Services, Inc.; Kforce
Professional Staffing, and Keystone, St. Louis, Missouri
(herein known as "GatewayCDI Inc. DBA Brand Addition"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
distribution of promotional products. Specifically, the worker
group runs web stores for large companies.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, workers' firm, and major
declining customer of 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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
distribution services by GatewayCDI Inc. DBA Brand Addition
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
service by GatewayCDI Inc. DBA Brand Addition have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
GatewayCDI Inc. DBA Brand Addition.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of GatewayCDI Inc. DBA
Brand Addition, including on-site leased workers from Express
Services, Inc.; Kforce Professional Staffing, and Keystone,
St. Louis, Missouri, who are engaged in activities related to
the distribution of promotional products 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 GatewayCDI Inc. DBA Brand Addition,
including on-site leased workers from Express Services,
Inc.; Kforce Professional Staffing, and Keystone, St.
Louis, Missouri, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 18, 2015 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 5th day of July 2016.
