KMC INDUSTRIES, LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM DELL TECHNICAL GROUP,
LANDMARK STAFFING AND US TECH FORCE
DENMARK, WISCONSIN

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 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance as a
secondarily affected worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility for secondary workers to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group eligibility requirements
of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of the Trade Act, as amended,
must be met. It is determined in this case that the requirements
of (b) of Section 222, as amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on August 15, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of KMC
Industries, LLC, Denmark, Wisconsin. The workers produced welded
and finished heavy metal products; workers were not separately
identifiable by product.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Dell
Technical Group, Landmark Staffing and US Tech Force.
The investigation revealed that the Denmark facility shut
down in April 2008.
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm
supplied component parts utilized in the production of air
flotation drying, pollution control and paper handling equipment
and in the production of converting machinery for the paper
industry, and a loss of business with manufacturers of such
equipment whose workers were certified eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance contributed importantly to the separation
or threat of separation of workers at the subject facility.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26
USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
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 workers of KMC Industries, LLC,
Denmark, Wisconsin, qualify as adversely affected secondary
workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of KMC Industries, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Dell Technical Group, Landmark Staffing
and US Tech Force, Denmark, Wisconsin, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August
12, 2007, 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 6th day of October 2008
