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 suchworkers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or arethreatened 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 threatof separation and to the decline in the sales or productionof such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 15, 2020 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers and former workers of Multi-Color Corporation
(MCC), including on-site leased workers from Manpower and Kelly
Services, including workers whose wages are reported under
Wisconsin Label Corporation and WS Packaging, Franklin,
Pennsylvania (MCC-Franklin). MCC-Franklinwas engaged in
activities related to the production of customized labels.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, the workers' firm, the firm's
declining customer(s), and other sources.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in MCC-Franklin 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 MCC-Franklin
sales and/or production have decreased absolutely.

Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
article like or directly competitive with the labels produced by
MCC-Franklin have increased during the relevant period when
compared to the representative base period.

Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at MCC-Franklin.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of MCC-Franklin, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of labels, 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 Multi-Color Corporation (MCC), including on-
site leased workers from Manpower and Kelly Services,
including workers whose wages are reported under Wisconsin
Label Corporation and WS Packaging, Franklin, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 14, 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."
