REXAM CLOSURE SYSTEMS, INC.

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ADDECO EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND OLSTON STAFFING
INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE (UI) WAGES
ARE PAID THROUGH OWENS ILLINOIS MANUFACTURING
HAMLET, NORTH CAROLINA

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 15, 2010, applicable to the
workers of Rexam Closure Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Rexam
PLC, Hamlet, North Carolina. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on April 23, 2010 (75 FR 21357). The notice
was amended on May 11, 2010 to included workers whose
Unemployment Insurance (UI) wages are paid through Owens
Illinois Manufacturing. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on May 21, 2010 (75 FR 28655)
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in activities related to the production of
plastic closures.
New findings show that workers leased from Olston
Staffing were employed on-site at the Hamlet, North Carolina
location of Rexam Closure Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Rexam
PLC. The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Rexam Closure Systems, Inc.
to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Olston Staffing
working on-site at the Hamlet, North Carolina location of the
subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to
include all workers of Rexam Closure Systems, Inc. who were
adversely affected as a secondary component supplier of
plastic closures to a TAA certified firm.



The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,912 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Rexam Closure Systems, Inc., a subsidiary
of Rexam PLC, including on-site leased workers from
Addeco Employment Services and Olston Staffing, and
including workers whose UI wages are paid through Owens
Illinois Manufacturing, Hamlet, North Carolina, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 10, 2008, through March 15, 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 in Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of June, 2010

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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers’ separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term “Supplier” as “a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 20, 2009, on behalf of workers of Rexam
Closure Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Rexam PLC, Hamlet,
North Carolina. The workers produce plastic closures. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Addeco
Employment Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Rexam Closure
Systems, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to the
production of plastic closures meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment at the
subject facility declined by at least five percent during the
period under investigation.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Rexam
Closure Systems, Inc. produced and sold plastic closures to a
firm that employed a worker group who is covered by an active
certification to be incorporated into hair colorants.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Rexam Closure Systems, Inc. with the TAA-certified firm
contributed importantly to worker separations at the Hamlet,
North Carolina facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rexam Closure
Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Rexam PLC, Hamlet, North
Carolina, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of plastic closures meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:



“All workers of Rexam Closure Systems, Inc., a subsidiary
of Rexam PLC, including on-site leased workers from
Addeco Employment Services, Hamlet, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 10, 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.”
