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 November 6, 2009 on behalf of workers of Amweld
International, LLC, North Jackson, Ohio (TA-W-72,782), Coppell,
Texas (TA-W-72,782A) and Miami, Florida (TA-W-72,782B). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
metal doors and frames. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers of Account Temps at the North Jackson, Ohio
facility and on-site leased workers of Snelling at the Coppell,
Texas facility.
The investigation revealed that workers of Amweld
International, LLC meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm was totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation,
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted production of articles like or directly competitive
with metal doors and frames to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the North Jackson, Ohio, Coppell, Texas and
Miami, Florida facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Amweld International,
LLC, North Jackson, Ohio, Coppell, Texas and Miami, Florida,
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 Amweld International, LLC, North Jackson,
Ohio, including on-site leased workers of Account Temps
(TA-W-72,782), Amweld International, LLC, Coppell, Texas,
including on-site leased workers of Snelling (TA-W-72,782A)
and Amweld International, LLC, Miami, Florida (TA-W-
72,782B), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 1, 2008, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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 4th day of June, 2010
