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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on June 25, 2009, applicable to workers of Electrolux

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that workers leased from Per Mar Security were employed

working on-site at the Webster City, Iowa location of Electrolux
Home Products, Inc., Electrolux Major Appliances Division.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-70,123 is hereby

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 the United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 442
on behalf of workers of Electrolux Home Products Inc., Electrolux
Major Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa. The workers produce
laundry equipment. The production of laundry equipment at the
subject firm has been shifted to a foreign country (Mexico).
The investigation revealed that workers of Electrolux Home
Products Inc., Electrolux Major Appliances Division, Webster City,
Iowa who are engaged in employment related to the production of
laundry equipment meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least 5 percent of the
workers at the subject firm have been separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm has
shifted to a foreign country (Mexico) the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced by
the workers at the subject firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of production
of laundry equipment to Mexico by Electrolux Home Products Inc.,
Electrolux Major Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Electrolux Home Products
Inc., Electrolux Major Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa, who
are engaged in employment related to the production of laundry
equipment 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 Electrolux Home Products Inc., Electrolux
Major Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa, 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 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.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 25th day of June, 2009.
