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 Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) petition filed on August 19, 2010 by
a State of Ohio official on behalf of workers of Polyair
Corporation, Youngstown, Ohio (subject firm). The workers at the
subject firm are engaged in employment related to the production
of polyethylene foam. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Callos Companies and Snelling Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Polyair
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Callos
Companies and Snelling Staffing, Youngstown, Ohio, meet the
criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of workers at the subject firm has been
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of polyethylene foam by the subject firm have
decreased absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with polyethylene foam
have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports of articles like or directly competitive
with polyethylene foam produced by the subject firm contributed
importantly to worker group separations and sales/production
declines at Polyair Corporation, Youngstown, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Polyair Corporation,
Youngstown, Ohio, 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 Polyair Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Callos Companies and Snelling Staffing,
Youngstown, Ohio, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 13, 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 12th day of November, 2010
