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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and
III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 13, 2009, by workers of JIT Services, LLC, a
subsidiary of Mountain Group Capital, Peachtree City, Georgia
(JIT). Workers supply warehouse and distribution services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Chase
Staffing Services, Randstad, and Automation.
The investigation revealed that workers of JIT, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of warehouse and
distribution services, meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at JIT have become separated, or
threatened with separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because JIT supplied services to
a firm that employed a worker group covered by an active Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) certification and the supply of
services is related to the article that was the basis for the
TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the services supplied
by JIT to the afore-mentioned TAA-certified accounted for at
least twenty percent of the sales of JIT.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of JIT Services, LLC,
Peachtree City, Georgia, who are engaged in employment related
to the supply of warehouse and distribution services, 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 JIT Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Mountain
Group Capital, including on-site leased workers from Chase
Staffing Services, Randstad, and Automation, Peachtree
City, Georgia, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 10, 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."
