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 February 3, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Haldex Hydraulics Corporation, Statesville location,
Statesville, North Carolina. The workers manufacture gears and
other products for installation in industrial vehicles. The
workers group includes on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing
and Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Haldex
Hydraulics Corporation, Statesville, North Carolina, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of industrial
vehicle installations, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers in Statesville.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of industrial vehicle installations to China,
Taiwan, and Germany by Haldex Hydraulics Corporation
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Statesville, North Carolina facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Haldex Hydraulics
Corporation, Statesville location, including on-site leased
workers from Onin Staffing and Manpower, Statesville, North
Carolina, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of industrial vehicle installations, 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 Haldex Hydraulics Corporation, Statesville
location, including on-site leased workers from Onin
Staffing and Manpower, Statesville, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 29, 2009, 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."
