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 February 15,
2011, applicable to workers of Core Industries, Inc., DBA
Star Trac, Irvine, California. The workers produce
commercial fitness equipment. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on March 10, 2011 (75 FR 13230). The
notice was amended on April 1, 2011 to include the
Murrieta, California location of Core Industries, Inc., DBA
Star Trac. The amended notice was published in the Federal
Register on April14, 2011 (76 FR 21033-21034).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows following a re-organization in November
2010, Core Industries, Inc., DBA Star Trac is also DBA
Unisen, Inc. DBA Star Trac and/or Star Trac Strength. Some
workers separated from employment at the Irvine, California
and Murrieta, California locations of the subject firm had
their wages reported under a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account under the name Unisen, Inc., DBA
Star Trac and/or Star Trac Strength.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this
certification to properly reflect the name of the subject
firm in its entirety.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,192 and TA-
W-75,192A is hereby issued as follows:
“All workers of Core Industries, Inc., DBA Star Trac,
and/or Unisen, Inc., DBA Star Trac and/or Star Trac
Strength, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Helpmates, Mattson, and Empire Staffing,
Irvine, California (TA-W-75,192), and Core

DBA Star Trac and/or Star Trac Strength, including
on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Helpmates,

(TA-W-75,192A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 8,
2010, through February 15, 2013, 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

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 February 9, 2011, by a company official
on behalf of workers of Core Industries, Inc., DBA Star
Trac, Irvine, California. The workers produce commercial
fitness equipment. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Helpmates, Mattson and Empire
Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Core
Industries Inc., DBA Star Trac, Irvine, California, who
are engaged in activities related to production of
commercial fitness equipment, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number
of workers have been separated or threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’
firm has acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with the commercial fitness
equipment produced by the firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition
from a foreign country contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Irvine, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Core Industries,
Inc., DBA Star Trac, Irvine, California, who are engaged
in activities related to production of commercial fitness
equipment, 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 Core Industries Inc., DBA Star Trac,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Helpmates, Mattson and Empire Staffing, Irvine,
California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 8, 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.”
