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 July 23, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Vision One
Plant 008, Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-W-71,797) engaged in
activities related to the production of upholstered
residential furniture; Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc.,
BCW 195/BCT 196/BCG 197, Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-W-71,797A)
engaged in activities related to warehousing services;
Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Broyhill Transport 009,
Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-W-71,797B) engaged in activities
related to transportation services from Broyhill's warehouses
to retail customers; Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc.,
Import Warehouse 023, Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-W-71,797C);
engaged in activities related to warehousing services;
Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc., Lenoir Furniture
Corporation 035 (TA-W-71,797D) engaged in activities related
to services; Broyhill Furniture Industries, Inc.,
Rutherfordton Distribution Center 045 (TA-W-71,797E) engaged
in activities related to warehousing services; and Broyhill
Furniture Industries, Inc., Upholstery Product Development
045, Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-W-71,797F) engaged in
activities related to the development of new product
prototypes supporting the Vision One 008 facility.
Broyhill's Vision One Plant 008 (TA-W-71,797) includes
on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing. Broyhill's BCW
195/BCT 196/BCG 197 facilities include on-site leased workers
from The People Connection.
Broyhill's Lenoir Furniture Corporation 035 (TA-W-71,797D)
worker group was certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) based on increased company imports
of residential furniture on January 9, 2007, under petition
number TA-W-60,535.
The investigation revealed that workers of Broyhill who are
engaged in activities related to the production and
warehousing of upholstered residential furniture meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
acquired from a foreign country articles and services like or
directly competitive with articles produced and services
supplied by the firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
upholstered residential furniture and supply of warehousing
services from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia by Broyhill
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Lenoir, North Carolina and Rutherford, North Carolina
facilities.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Broyhill Furniture
Industries, Inc., Vision One Plant 008, including on-site
leased workers from Onin Staffing, Lenoir, North Carolina (TA-
W-71,797) engaged in activities related to the production of
upholstered residential furniture; Broyhill Furniture
