TA-W-72,379

PREMIER MANUFACTURING SUPPORT SERVICES, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
RANDSTAT
SPRING HILL, TENNESSEE

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 12, 2010, applicable to workers of Premier
Manufacturing Support Services, Inc., Spring Hill, Tennessee.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on April 23,
2010 (75 FR 21355).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in janitorial, maintenance, hazardous waste
disposal, grounds keeping, and shipping services.
The company reports that workers leased from Randstat were
employed on-site at the Spring Hill, Tennessee location of
Premier Manufacturing Support Services, Inc. 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 Randstat working on-
site at the Spring Hill, Tennessee location of Heritage Aviation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,379 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Premier Manufacturing Support Services,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Randstat,
Spring Hill, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 13, 2009,
through March 12, 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 16th day of July 2010.

SPRING HILL, TENNESSEE

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 September 23, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Premier Manufacturing Support Services, Inc., Spring
Hill, Tennessee. The workers are engaged in janitorial,
maintenance, hazardous waste disposal, grounds keeping, and
shipping services.
The worker group was covered by certification number TA-W-
61,613, which expired on June 12, 2009.
The investigation revealed that the workers are under the
operational control of General Motors Corporation, Spring Hill,
Tennessee and may be considered joint employees.
The investigation revealed that workers of Premier
Manufacturing Support Services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of the
workers were separated during the period of investigation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because General Motors
Corporation has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced at
the Spring Hill, Tennessee facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
to Mexico by General Motors Corporation, GM North America
Division, Spring Hill, Tennessee, contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Premier Manufacturing Support
Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Premier Manufacturing
Support Services, Inc., Spring Hill, Tennessee, who are engaged in
employment related to janitorial, maintenance, hazardous waste
disposal, grounds keeping, and shipping 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 Premier Manufacturing Support Services,
Inc., Spring Hill, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 13, 2009, 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.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 12th day of March, 2010
