CADMUS PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS
AKRON, PENNSYLVANIA

Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility
To Apply For Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on June 25, 2001 and filed on behalf of workers at
Cadmus Professional Communications, Akron, Pennsylvania. The
workers performed services related to the printing industry
including typesetting, photo composition, editorial production,
and desktop publishing.
The investigation revealed that the workers of Cadmus
Professional Communications, Akron, Pennsylvania, do not produce
an article within the meaning of Section 223(3) of the Act. The
Department of Labor has consistently determined that the
performance of services does not constitute production of an
article, as required by Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, and
this determination has been upheld in the U. S. Court of Appeals.

Workers at Cadmus Professional Communications may be
certified only if their separation was caused importantly by a
reduced demand for their services from a parent firm, a firm
otherwise related to the subject firm by ownership, or a firm
related by control. Additionally, the reduction in demand for
services must originate at a production facility whose workers
independently meet the statutory criteria for certification and
the reduction must directly relate to the product impacted by
imports. These conditions have not been met for workers at the
subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review, I determine that all workers of Cadmus
Professional Communications, Akron, Pennsylvania, are denied
eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974.
