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 14, 2013 by Communication Workers of America
(CWA), Local 4009 & 4100, for workers at YP Midwest Publishing
LLC, Publishing Operations Group, Detroit, Michigan Division, YP
Subsidiary Holdings LLC, YP LLC, YP Holdings LLC, Detroit,
Michigan (TA-W-82,340), YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing
Operations Group, Southfield, Michigan Division, YP Subsidiary
Holdings LLC, YP LLC, YP Holdings LLC, Southfield, Michigan (TA-
W-82,340A). YP Midwest Publishing LLC, is part of YP subsidiary
Holdings LLC, which is part of YP LLC, which is part of YP
Holdings LLC.
Workers of YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing
Operations Group, Detroit, Michigan Division, including on-
site leased workers of Zero Chaos, Inc., Detroit, Michigan
(TA-W-82,340) and YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing
Operations Group, Southfield, Michigan Division, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, Inc., Artech Information
Systems LLC, Internet Laboratories, Inc., iSpace, Inc., Kelly
Management Services, Metasys Technologies, Inc., Pareto
Staffing Group, Inc., and Zero Chaos, Inc., Southfield,
Michigan (TA-W-82,340A) (the subject worker group) are engaged
in employment related to the supply of services related to
publishing operations (such as data entry, artwork,
pagination, and quality control functions).
Workers within the Publishing Operations Group are
separately identifiable from other business units within YP
Midwest Publishing LLC. Therefore, the certification is
limited to only those workers within the Publishing Operations
Group who are located at (or report to) the Detroit or
Southfield locations, and the identified leased worker groups.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the subject worker group, have become
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers’
firm has acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
subject worker group, which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing
Operations Group, Detroit, Michigan Division, Detroit, Michigan
(TA-W-82,340) and YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing
Operations Group, Southfield, Michigan Division, Southfield,
Michigan (TA-W-82,340A).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of YP Midwest Publishing
LLC, Publishing Operations Group, Detroit, Michigan Division,
including on-site leased workers, Detroit, Michigan (TA-W-
82,340) and YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing Operations
Group, Southfield, Michigan Division, including on-site leased
workers, Southfield, Michigan (TA-W-82,340A), who were engaged
in employment related to the supply of services related to
publication operations, 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 YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing
Operations Group, Detroit, Michigan Division, YP Subsidiary
Holdings LLC, YP LLC, YP Holdings LLC, including on-site
leased workers of Zero Chaos, Inc., Detroit, Michigan (TA-
W-82,340), YP Midwest Publishing LLC, Publishing Operations
Group, Southfield, Michigan Division, YP Subsidiary

Systems LLC, Internet Laboratories, Inc., iSpace, Inc.,

Southfield, Michigan (TA-W-82,340A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 13,
2012, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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.”
