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 March 18, 2019, by a one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of workers of Deluxe Media Inc., a subsidiary of Deluxe
Entertainment Services Group Inc., including workers whose
wages were reported under Deluxe Shared Services Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco Staffing,
Testronics, and Check Disc Labs, Inc., Burbank, California
("Deluxe Media Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of production, operation,
coordination and/or client services relating to mastering,
tape services, audio, and localization.
The subject worker group for which the petition was filed
concerns the Distribution Group. However, it was determined
that impacted workers at the subject location are inclusive of
all workers.
In addition, workers of the DVD and Blu-ray Authoring
Department (TA-W-93,980) and Account Coordinators and Account
Managers in the Digital Distribution Group (TA-W-94,425), are
covered under existing certifications expiring in 2020 and
2021.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to the worker group
separations at Deluxe Media Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Deluxe Media Inc., a
subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc.,
including workers whose wages were reported under Deluxe
Shared Services Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Adecco Staffing, Testronics, and Check Disc Labs, Inc.,
Burbank, California, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of production, operation, coordination and/or
client services relating to mastering, tape services, audio,
and localization, 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 Deluxe Media Inc., a subsidiary of Deluxe
Entertainment Services Group Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported under Deluxe Shared Services
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco
Staffing, Testronics, and Check Disc Labs, Inc., Burbank,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 15, 2018, 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 22nd day of May 2019.
