CONTINENTAL STRUCTURAL PLASTICS
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
KELLY SERVICES AND TIME STAFFING
NORTH BALTIMORE, OHIO

Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on December 31, 2008,
applicable to workers of Continental Structural Plastics, North
Baltimore, Ohio. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on January 26, 2009 (74 FR 4463).
At the request of the UAW, Local 1889, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers produced exterior body panels and under body structural
components for automobiles. The firm has since closed,
eliminating the possibility of a new petition to cover these
workers.
New information shows that workers leased from Kelly
Services and Time Staffing were employed on-site at the North
Baltimore, Ohio location of Continental Structural Plastics. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Kelly Services and
Time Staffing working on-site at the North Baltimore, Ohio
location of Continental Structural Plastics.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,458 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Continental Structural Plastics,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services
and Time Staffing, North Baltimore, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 11, 2007, through December 31, 2010, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 17th day of December 2010

CONTINENTAL STRUCTURAL PLASTICS
NORTH BALTIMORE, OHIO

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 November 18, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Continental
Structural Plastics, North Baltimore, Ohio. The workers produce
exterior body panels and under body structural components for
automobiles. The workers are not separately identifiable by
articles produced.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm supplied
exterior body panels and under body structural components for use
in the production of automobiles and a loss of business with this
manufacturer of automobiles whose workers were certified eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance contributed importantly to the
separation or threat of separation of workers at Continental
Structural Plastics, North Baltimore, Ohio.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 Continental Structural
Plastics, North Baltimore, Ohio, 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 Continental Structural Plastics, North
Baltimore, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 11, 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."
