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 April 6, 2011, applicable to The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, North American Tire Company, including on-site
leased workers from The Hamilton-Ryker Group LLC, Securitas
Security Services, Take Care Corporation, Conestoga Rovers and
Associates, Phillips Engineering, Rockwell Engineering, Excel
Logistics, and American Food and Vending. The workers produce
passenger and light truck tires. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on April 22, 2011 (76 FR 22731).
At the request of the Tennessee State agency, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
company reports that workers leased from Calhoun Spotting Service
and Job World, Inc. were employed on-site at the Union City,
Tennessee location of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Union
City, Tennessee to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Calhoun Spotting
Service and Job World, Inc. working on-site at the Union City,
Tennessee location of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,252 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company,
North American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, (TA-W-
75,252), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 26, 2010, through April 6,
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 Title II of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended.”
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,252A is hereby
issued as follows:
"All leased workers from The Hamilton-Ryker Group LLC,
Securitas Security Services, Take Care Corporation,
Conestoga Rovers and Associates, Phillips Engineering,
Rockwell Engineering, Excel Logistics, and American
Food and Vending, Calhoun Spotting Service, and Job
World, Inc. working on-site at The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, North American Tire, Union City,
Tennessee (TA-W-75,252A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after
February 10, 2010, through April 6, 2013, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on April 6, 2011 through
April 6, 2013, 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:
(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 petition
filed on February 14, 2011, by the United Steelworkers Union,
Local 8781 on behalf of workers of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, North American Tire, Union City, Tennessee. The workers
produce passenger and light truck tires. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from The Hamilton-Ryker Group LLC, Securitas
Security Services, Take Care Corporation, Conestoga Rovers and
Associates, Phillips Engineering, Rockwell Engineering, Excel
Logistics, and American Food and Vending.
The workers of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, North
American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, were previously certified
eligible to apply for TAA under TA-W-70,164 that expired on June
25, 2010. The certification did not cover the on-site leased
workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of The Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, who are engaged in employment related to
production of passenger and light truck tires, meet the criteria
for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
of workers have been separated or threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of passenger and light truck tires by the
workers’ firm have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S. aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with passenger
and light truck tires by The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased U.S. aggregate imports of passenger and light truck
tires contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at the Union City, Tennessee facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, North American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of passenger and
light truck tires 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 The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, North
American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, (TA-W-75,252) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 26, 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,
AND
All leased workers from The Hamilton-Ryker Group LLC,
Securitas Security Services, Take Care Corporation, Conestoga
Rovers and Associates, Phillips Engineering, Rockwell
Engineering, Excel Logistics, and American Food and Vending,
working on-site at The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, North
American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, (TA-W-75,252A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 10, 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.”

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

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 petition
filed on February 14, 2011, by the United Steelworkers Union,
Local 8781 on behalf of workers of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, North American Tire, Union City, Tennessee. The workers
produce passenger and light truck tires. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from The Hamilton-Ryker Group LLC, Securitas
Security Services, Take Care Corporation, Conestoga Rovers and
Associates, Phillips Engineering, Rockwell Engineering, Excel
Logistics, and American Food and Vending.
The workers of The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, North
American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, were previously certified
eligible to apply for TAA under TA-W-70,164 that expired on June
25, 2010. The certification did not cover the on-site leased
workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of The Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, who are engaged in employment related to
production of passenger and light truck tires, meet the criteria
for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
of workers have been separated or threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of passenger and light truck tires by the
workers’ firm have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because U.S. aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with passenger
and light truck tires by The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased U.S. aggregate imports of passenger and light truck
tires contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at the Union City, Tennessee facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, North American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of passenger and
light truck tires 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 The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, North
American Tire, Union City, Tennessee, (TA-W-75,252) who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 26, 2010, through two years from the date of
