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
Heritage Aviation, including on-site leased workers from Heritage
Aviation, Ltd, including on-site leased workers from Global
Technical Services, Grand Prairie, Texas. 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 employment related to the production of aircraft
detail parts and sub-assemblies.
The company reports that workers leased from Global Inc.,
were employed on-site at the Grand Prairie, Texas location of
Heritage Aviation. On-site leased workers from Global, Inc. had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI)
tax account for its’ formerly known as name, Global Employment
Solutions.
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 Global Inc. (Global
Employee Solutions Inc.) working on-site at the Grand Prairie,
Texas location of Heritage Aviation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,924 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Heritage Aviation, including on-site
leased workers from Global Technical Services and
Global, Inc. (Global Employment Solutions), Grand
Prairie, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 20,
2008, through December 28, 2010, 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 1st day of March 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(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 23, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Heritage Aviation, Ltd., Grand Prairie, Texas. The
workers produce aircraft detail parts and sub-assemblies. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Global
Technical Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Heritage Aviation,
Ltd. who are engaged in employment related to production of
aircraft detail parts and sub-assemblies 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 Mexico the production of an article like or
directly competitive with the article produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of aircraft parts and sub-assemblies by Heritage Aviation, Ltd.
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the Grand
Prairie, Texas facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Heritage Aviation,
Ltd., including on-site leased workers from Global Technical
Services, Grand Prairie, Texas, who are engaged in employment
related to production of aircraft detail parts and sub-assemblies
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 Heritage Aviation, Ltd., including on-site
leased workers from Global Technical Services, Grand
Prairie, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 20, 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.”
