Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.
II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:
(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.
III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 19, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Indalex, Inc., Lincolnshire Corporate Office, Lincolnshire,
Illinois. The workers are engaged in employment related to the
manufacturing of aluminum extrusions. The Lincolnshire Corporate
Office is the subject firm's headquarters providing human
resources, management, and accounting services to their
affiliated production sites.
Workers of the subject firm supported production at
Indalex's manufacturing affiliates, including Indalex, Inc.,
Modesto, California, Indalex Aluminum Solutions, Niles, Ohio,
and Indalex Aluminum Solutions, Girard, Ohio. Workers at these
facilities were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance on June 27, 2008 and May 1, 2009 based on a shift in
production of aluminum extrusions to Canada (TA-W-63,476 and TA-
W-63,476A; and TA-W-63,077).
Workers of the subject firm who are engaged in employment
related to the manufacturing of aluminum extrusions meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers has been separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted the production of an article like or directly
competitive with aluminum extrusions to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of aluminum extrusions from the subject firm to
Canada contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the Lincolnshire Corporate Office.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Indalex, Inc.,
Lincolnshire Corporate Office, Lincolnshire, Illinois, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of aluminum
extrusions meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:
"All workers of Indalex, Inc., Lincolnshire Corporate
Office, Lincolnshire, Illinois who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 18,
2008, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
