BOSTIK, INC.
FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATO FINDLEY
MARSHALL, MICHIGAN

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 December 28, 2009, applicable to
workers of Bostik, Inc., a subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine,
Marshall, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 2010 (75 FR 7033).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of adhesives and sealants.
New information shows that Bostik, Inc. was formerly known
as ATO Findley. Some workers separated from employment at
Bostik, Inc. had their wages reported under a separate
unemployment insurance (UI) tax account under the name ATO
Findley.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department's certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in the production of adhesives and sealants to the United
Kingdom.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,310 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Bostik, Inc., formerly known as ATO
Findley, Marshall, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
18, 2008, through December 28, 2011, 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."

BOSTIK, INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF ELF AQUITAINE
MARSHALL, MICHIGAN

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 19, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Bostik, Inc., a subsidiary of Elf Aquitaine,
Marshall, Michigan. The workers produce adhesives and
sealants.
The investigation revealed that workers of Bostik, Inc.,
who are engaged in employment related to production of
adhesives and sealants meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or are threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to the United Kingdom by Bostik, Inc. contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Marshall,
Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bostik, Inc., who are
engaged in employment related to production of adhesives and
sealants 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 Bostik, Inc., a subsidiary of Elf
Aquitaine, Marshall, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
18, 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."
