ARCELOR MITTAL
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ADECCO, ESW, INC., GUARDSMARK, HUDSON GLOBAL RESOURCES,
MULTI SERV AND QUAKER CHEMICAL
HENNEPIN, ILLINOIS

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 March 26, 2010, applicable to workers of Arcelor
Mittal, including on-site leased workers from Adecco, ESW, Inc.,
Guardsmark, Hudson Global Resources, Hennepin, Illinois. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2010
(75 FR 21355). The notice was amended on April 27, 2010 to
include on-site leased workers from Multi Serv. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 12, 2010 (75 FR 26793)
At the request of the State, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in activities in production of hot and cold rolled steel.
The company reports that workers leased from Quaker Chemical
were employed on-site at the Hennepin, Illinois location of
Arcelor Mittal. 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 Quaker Chemical
working on-site at the Hennepin, Illinois location of Arcelor
Mittal.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,705 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers Arcelor Mittal, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, ESW, Inc., Guardsmark, Hudson
Global Resources, Multi Serv and Quaker Chemical
Hennepin, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 6, 2008,
through March 26, 2012, 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.”
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 17th day of May 2010

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ADECCO, ESW, INC.,

HENNEPIN, ILLINOIS

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 July 16, 2009, by the United Steel Workers, District 7,
on behalf of workers of Arcelor Mittal, Hennepin, Illinois. The
workers produce hot and cold rolled steel.
The investigation revealed that workers of Arcelor Mittal who
are engaged in employment related to production of hot and cold
rolled steel meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
of workers were separated during the period of investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales and
production of hot and cold rolled steel products by Arcelor
Mittal have decreased absolutely during the period of
investigation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with hot and
cold rolled steel products produced by Arcelor Mittal have
increased relative to domestic consumption during the period of
investigation.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
relative increase in U.S. aggregate imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and sales/production
declines at Arcelor Mittal.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Arcelor Mittal,
Hennepin, Illinois, who are engaged in employment related to
production of hot and cold rolled steel, 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 Arcelor Mittal, Hennepin, Illinois,
including on-site lease workers from Adecco, Esw, Inc.,
Guardsmark, and Hudson Global Resources, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after July 6,
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.”
