QUINCY CASTINGS, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF PETE DELUKE AND ASSOCIATES
QUINCY, OHIO

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 by a company official on March 3, 2010 on behalf of
workers of Quincy Castings, Quincy, Ohio. Workers at the
subject firm are engaged in activities related to the production
of iron castings. The workers are not separately identifiable by
product and the worker group includes on-site leased workers of
Pete DeLuke and Associates.
The investigation further revealed that workers of Quincy
Castings, Quincy, Ohio who are engaged in employment related to
the production of iron castings meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated during the relevant
period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of iron castings by the subject firm
decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with iron castings
produced by Quincy Castings, Quincy, Ohio have increased.
Specifically, the Department of Labor conducted a survey of the
subject firm's major declining customers regarding their
purchases of iron castings during the relevant period. The
survey revealed increased customer reliance on imports of iron
castings.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased imports of iron castings by customers of Quincy
Castings, Quincy, Ohio contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Quincy
Castings, Quincy, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Quincy Castings,
including on-site leased workers of Pete DeLuke and Associates,
Quincy, Ohio who are engaged in activities related to the
production of iron castings 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 Quincy Castings, including on-site leased
workers of Pete DeLuke and Associates, Quincy, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 23, 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 11th day of June, 2010
