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 September 3, 2010, applicable to
workers of HAVI Logistics, North America, a subsidiary of HAVI
Group, LP, including on-site leased workers of Express Personnel
Services and The La Salle Network, Bloomingdale, Illinois. The
Notice was published in the Federal Register on September 21,
2010 (75 FR 57516). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of food distribution services.
During the course of an investigation of another petition,
the Department obtained information that shows that HAVI

facility operating in conjunction with the Bloomingdale,
Indiana facility.
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 subject firm who were adversely affected by
the shift of food distribution services to Japan and Russia.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,545 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of HAVI Logistics, North America, a
subsidiary of HAVI Group, LP, including on-site leased
workers of Express Personnel Services and The La Salle
Network, Bloomingdale, Illinois (TA-W-74,545) and all
workers of HAVI Logistics, North America, Lisle, Illinois
(TA-W-74,545A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 11, 2009, through
September 3, 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.”

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 August 23, 2010 on behalf of workers of HAVI
Logistics, North America, a subsidiary of HAVI Group, LP,
Bloomingdale, Illinois (HAVI Logistics-Bloomingdale). The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of food
distribution services. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Express Personnel Services and The La Salle Network.
The investigation revealed that workers of HAVI Logistics-
Bloomingdale, who supply food distribution services, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at HAVI Logistics-Bloomingdale was
totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm is
shifting to foreign countries the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the food distribution services
supplied by HAVI Logistics-Bloomingdale.
Criterion III has been met the shift of food distribution
services to Japan and Russia contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Bloomingdale, Illinois facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of HAVI Logistics, North
America, Bloomingdale, Illinois, who supply food distribution
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 HAVI Logistics, North America, a
subsidiary of HAVI Group, LP, including on-site leased
workers of Express Personnel Services and The La Salle
Network, Bloomingdale, Illinois, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 11,
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.”
