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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 29, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Holcim (US) Inc., Corporate Division, Dundee,
Michigan. The workers supply administrative services for the
firm. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Manpower and Office Team.
The investigation revealed that workers of Holcim (US) Inc.
who are engaged in employment related to administrative
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied imports of articles like
or directly competitive with the cement produced by the firm
have increased.
Criterion III has been met because the increased imports
contributed importantly to worker separations at the Dundee,
Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Holcim (US) Inc.,
Corporate Division, Dundee, Michigan, who are engaged in
employment related to administrative services 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 Holcim (US) Inc., Corporate Division,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower and Office
Team, Dundee, Michigan, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 2, 2009,
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."
