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 11, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of CreativeDrive, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported under Sandbox Studio, LLC, Portland,
Oregon. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the creation of photography, video, computer generated
imagery, graphic arts, and copywriting. The firm also
supplies professional services in the areas of marketing
strategy, content strategy, and eCommerce.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to the worker group separations at
CreativeDrive, Inc., Portland, Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CreativeDrive, Inc.,
including workers whose wages were reported under Sandbox
Studio, LLC, Portland, Oregon, who are engaged in activities
related to the creation of photography, video, computer
generated imagery, graphic arts, copywriting, and professional
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 CreativeDrive, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported under Sandbox Studio, LLC,
Portland, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after September 10, 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 3rd day of December 2019.
