Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on April 21, 2006 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers at JohnsonDiversey, Inc.,
U.S. Institutional Division, East Strousbrug, Pennsylvania. The
workers are engaged in the production of laundry and warewashing
chemicals for institutional cleaning.
The investigation revealed JohnsonDiversey, Inc., U.S.
Institutional Division, East Strousbrug, Pennsylvania also leased
workers from Adecco, Manpower and ERG Staffing Service to produce
laundry and warewashing chemicals.
Employment at the subject plant has declined, and the subject
firm is shifting the production of laundry and warewashing
chemicals to a country (Canada) that is a party to a Free Trade
Agreement with the United States.
In addition, in order for the Department to issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group
eligibility requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be
met. The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers firm or subdivision to Canada of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:



“All workers of JohnsonDiversey, Inc., U.S. Institutional
Division, East Strousbrug, Pennsylvania, including on-site
leased workers of Adecco, Manpower and ERG Staffing Service,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 15, 2005 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 31st day of May 2006.
