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. (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 February 10, 2011 on behalf of workers of Welco
Technologies, Western Sky Division, a subsidiary of Western Sky
doing business as Electromech Technologies, Maysville, Kentucky
(Welco Technologies Maysville). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of commercial motors and
motor parts used on aircraft and in medical equipment for X-ray.
The worker group, Welco Technologies Maysville, includes on-site
leased workers from Nesco Service Company.
The investigation revealed that workers of Welco Technologies
Maysville, who are engaged in activities related to production of
commercial motors and motor parts used on aircraft and in medical
equipment for X-ray, 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 commercial motors and motor parts used on
aircraft and in medical equipment for X-ray by Welco Technologies
Maysville to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production of
commercial motors and motor parts used on aircraft and in medical
equipment for X-ray by Welco Technologies Maysville contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Welco Technologies
Maysville.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Welco Technologies,
Western Sky Division, a subsidiary of Western Sky doing business as
Electromech Technologies, including on-site leased workers from
Nesco Service Company, Maysville, Kentucky, who are engaged in
activities related to production of commercial motors and motor
parts used on aircraft and in medical equipment for X-ray, 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 Welco Technologies, Western Sky Division, a
subsidiary of Western Sky doing business as Electromech
Technologies, including on-site leased workers from Nesco
Service Company, Maysville, Kentucky, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 9,
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."
