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. (Set forth in 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 January 31, 2011 by a company official behalf of
workers of Elkay Manufacturing, Broadview, Illinois (Elkay
Broadview). The workers are engaged in activities related to the
production of stainless steel sinks, counters, and cabinets.
The investigation revealed that workers of Elkay Broadview,
who are engaged in activities related to production of
stainless steel sinks, counters, and cabinets, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers in the workers’ firm have become totally or partially
separated or are threatened with total or partial separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of stainless steel sinks, counters, and
cabinets by Elkay Broadview to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of stainless steel sinks, counters, and cabinets by Elkay
Broadview contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Elkay Broadview.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Elkay Manufacturing,
Broadview, Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to
production of stainless steel sinks, counters, and cabinets,
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 Elkay Manufacturing, Broadview, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after January 28, 2010, 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.”
