INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF
ADECCO STAFFING SERVICES

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for
Alternative Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of
Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Negative
Determination Regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on
September 23, 2004, applicable to workers of Lacey Manufacturing
Company, MCA Product Line, including leased workers of Adecco
Staffing Services, Bridgeport, Connecticut. The notice will be
published soon in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in the production of disposable surgical devices.
New information provided by the company shows that FAG Holding
Corporation is the parent firm of Lacey Manufacturing Company.
Information also shows that workers separated from employment at
the subject firm had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account for FAG Holding
Corporation.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include all
workers of Lacey Manufacturing Company, MCA Product Line, including
leased workers of ADECCO who were adversely affected by increased
imports.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-55,560 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Lacey Manufacturing Company, FAG Holding
Corporation, MCA Product Line, including leased workers of
ADECCO Staffing Services, Bridgeport, Connecticut, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 2, 2003, through September 23, 2006, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade
Act of 1974.”
I further determine that all workers of Lacey Manufacturing
Company, FAG Holding Corporation, MCA Product Line, including
ADECCO Staffing Services, Bridgeport, Connecticut are denied
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 13th day of October 2004.
