LINCOLN, RHODE ISLAND

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 September 25, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Greystone of Lincoln, a subsidiary of
Greystone, Inc., Lincoln, Rhode Island. The workers produce screw
machined parts for the automotive industry.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm supplied
components for automobile seat tracks and a loss of business with
this manufacturer of automobile seat tracks whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment assistance contributed
importantly to the separation or threat of separation of workers at
Greystone of Lincoln, a subsidiary of Greystone, Inc., Lincoln,
Rhode Island.
In addition, 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 Greystone of Lincoln, a
subsidiary of Greystone, Inc., Lincoln, Rhode Island, 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 Greystone of Lincoln, a subsidiary of
Greystone, Inc., Lincoln, Rhode Island, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 29,
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 eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974."
