MASONICO, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF CADENCE INNOVATION, LLC DIP
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
PERSONNEL UNLIMITED
FRASER, MICHIGAN

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 May 24, 2010, applicable to workers of Masonico,
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Personnel Unlimited,
Fraser, Michigan. The notice was published in the Federal
Register June 16, 2010 (75 FR 34174).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to injection molded parts and
interior trim products.
New information shows that Masonico, LLC is a subsidiary of
Cadence Innovation, LLC DIP. Workers separated from employment
at the Fraser, Michigan location of Masonico, LLC had their wages
reported under a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account
under the name Cadence Innovation, LLC DIP.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the Masonico, LLC, a subsidiary of Cadence
Innovation, who were adversely affected as a secondary component
supplier to a TAA certified worker group.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,429 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Masonico, LLC, a subsidiary of
Cadence, LLC DIP, including on-site leased workers from
Personnel Unlimited, Fraser, Michigan, who became

after January 29, 2009 through May 24, 2012, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 10th day of November 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 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 by a company official on February 3, 2010 on behalf of the
workers of Masonico LLC, Fraser, Michigan (Masonico LLC). Workers
at the subject firm are engaged in activities related to the
production of injection molded parts and interior trim products.
The workers are not separately identifiable by product. The worker
group also includes on-site leased workers from Personnel
Unlimited.
The investigation revealed that workers of Masonico LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Personnel Unlimited, Fraser,
Michigan who are engaged in employment related to the production
of injection molded parts and interior trim products meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker 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 III has been met because the injection molded
parts and interior trim products produced or supplied by Masonico
LLC for a firm that employed a worker group covered by an active
certification accounted for at least 20 percent of the production
or sales of Masonico LLC.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Masonico LLC with the TAA-certified firm, with respect to
injection molded parts and interior trim products sold to the
TAA-certified firm, contributed importantly to worker separations
at Masonico LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Masonico LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Personnel Unlimited, Fraser, Michigan
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
injection molded parts and interior trim products 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 Masonico LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Personnel Unlimited, Fraser, Michigan, 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 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 24th day of May 2010
