SANFORD
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
HOLLAND EMPLOYMENT AND WILLSTAFF
LEWISBURG, TENNESSEE

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 February 3, 2009,
applicable to workers of Sanford, including on-site leased
workers from Holland Employment, Lewisburg, Tennessee. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on March 3, 2009 (74
FR 9282).
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 dymo labels, pencils, and other
writing instruments.
New information shows that the Lewisburg, Tennessee location
of the subject firm employs on-site leased workers contracted
from Willstaff. The Department has determined that Willstaff
workers are 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 Willstaff working
on-site at the Lewisburg, Tennessee location of Sanford.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,897 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Sanford, including on-site leased
workers from Holland Employment and Willstaff,
Lewisburg, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 15, 2008,
through February 3, 2011, 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.”

SANFORD
INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF HOLLAND EMPLOYMENT
LEWISBURG, TENNESSEE

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 January 15, 2009, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sanford, Lewisburg, Tennessee. The workers produce dymo
labels, pencils, and other writing instruments.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is shifting
production to Mexico and separating workers from employment at
Lewisburg, Tennessee.
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 there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:


"All workers of Sanford, including leased workers of Holland
Employment, Lewisburg, Tennessee who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 15,
2008 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.”
