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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers’ firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and
(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and
(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and
(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 9, 2009 by the United Steel Workers, Local 1527,
on behalf of workers of Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial
Chain and Conveyor Division, West Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(Rexnord Industries). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of mechanical power transmission
equipment. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Stivers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Rexnord
Industries, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of mechanical power transmission equipment, meet
the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion or number of workers at the worker’s firm have been
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separatioin, during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of mechanical power transmission equipment by
Rexnord Industries have declined during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because the
increased reliance on imports of articles like or directly
competitive with mechanical power transmission equipment by
Rexnord Industries has increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of mechanical power transmission
equipment contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at the West
Milwaukee, Wisconsin facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rexnord Industries,
LLC, Industrial Chain and Conveyor Division, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of mechanical power
transmission 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 Rexnord Industries, LLC, Industrial Chain
and Conveyor Division, including on-site leased workers
from Stivers, West Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 9, 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.”
