Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on October 13, 2009, applicable to workers
of Findlay Industries, Inc., Findlay Plant One, Findlay, Ohio.
The notice was published in the Federal Register December 11,
2009 (74 FR 65798).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of
automotive and heavy truck interiors.
The company reports that workers leased from Alternative
Management Resource, Inc., (AMRI of Findlay), also known as
Alternative Management Temporary Services were employed on-
site at the Findlay, Ohio location of Findlay Industries, Inc.,
Findlay Plant One. 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 Alternative
Management Resource, Inc., (AMRI of Findlay), also known as
Alternative Management Temporary Services working on-site at
the Findlay, Ohio location of Findlay Industries, Inc., Findlay
Plant One.
The amended notice applicable to the TA-W-70,242 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Findlay Industries, Inc., Findlay Plant
One, including on-site leased workers from Alternative
Management Resource, Inc., (AMRI of Findlay), also known
as Alternative Management Temporary Services, Findlay,
Ohio (TA-W-70,242) and Findlay Industries, Inc.,
Springfield Division, Springfield, Ohio (TA-W-70,242A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 19, 2008, through October 13, 2011, 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 8th day of April, 2010.

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 20, 2009 by Workers United, Chicago and Midwest
Regional Joint Board, on behalf of workers of Findlay
Industries, Inc., Findlay Plant One, Findlay, Ohio (TA-W-70,242)
and Findlay Industries, Inc., Springfield Division, Springfield,
Ohio (TA-W-70,242A). The workers were engaged in the production
of automotive and heavy truck interiors.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in the production of automotive and
heavy truck interiors, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separations by
the subject firm.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of automotive and heavy truck interiors to Mexico
by the subject firm 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 Findlay Industries,
Inc., Findlay Plant One, Findlay, Ohio (TA-W-70,242) and Findlay
Industries, Inc., Springfield Division, Springfield, Ohio (TA-W-
70,242A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of automotive and heavy truck interiors, 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 Findlay Industries, Inc., Findlay Plant
One, Findlay, Ohio (TA-W-70,242) and Findlay Industries,
Inc., Springfield Division, Springfield, Ohio (TA-W-
70,242A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 19, 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 13th day of October, 2009.
