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 January 29, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Schawk USA Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Matthews International Corporation, Cincinnati, Ohio ("Schawk
USA Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of digital electronic artwork files that are
used for packaging customers. The subject worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Schawk USA Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Schawk USA Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Matthews International Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Cincinnati,
Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
digital electronic artwork files that are used for packaging
customers 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 Schawk USA Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Matthews International Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Cincinnati, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 27, 2019, 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 12th day of March 2020.
