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 November 3, 2017 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of Quad Graphics, Inc., Imaging Department, Saratoga
Springs Plant, Saratoga Springs, New York (Quad Graphics-
Imaging Department). Workers of Quad Graphics-Imaging
Department are engaged in activities related to the supply of
imaging services, primarily for printing of catalogs,
magazines, books, retail insert, and other products. The
worker groups are separately identifiable by services supplied
by the subject firm.
The subject worker group does not include on-site leased
workers.
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 Quad Graphics-Imaging
Department 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 the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Quad Graphics-Imaging Department.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Quad Graphics, Inc.,
Imaging Department, Saratoga Springs Plant, Saratoga Springs,
New York, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
imaging 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 Quad Graphics, Inc., Imaging Department,
Saratoga Springs Plant, Saratoga Springs, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 2, 2016, 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 28th day of December 2017.
