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. (Set forth in 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 December 23, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of CVG-Mayflower Vehicle Systems LLC, Norwalk, Ohio
(CVG-Mayflower Vehicle Systems LLC). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of heavy truck cabs (e.g.
HDS cabs and pro-star cabs). The workers are not separately
identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that workers of CVG-Mayflower
Vehicle Systems LLC, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of heavy truck cabs meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift of the production of heavy truck cabs by CVG-Mayflower
Vehicle Systems LLC to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in the
production of heavy truck cabs by CVG-Mayflower Vehicle Systems
LLC to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CVG-Mayflower Vehicle Systems LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CVG-Mayflower Vehicle
Systems LLC, Norwalk, Ohio, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of heavy truck cabs, 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 CVG-Mayflower Vehicle Systems LLC,
Norwalk, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 17, 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 13th day of April, 2010
