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 July 29, 2011 by a union official from the United
Steelworkers, Local 7679 on behalf of workers of Shiloh
Industries, Inc., Mansfield Blanking Division, Mansfield, Ohio
(Shiloh Mansfield). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of heavy gauged blanks. The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Legacy
Staffing.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the firm's customers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the
production of heavy gauged blanks by Shiloh Mansfield have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Shiloh Mansfield have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and production declines at Shiloh
Mansfield.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Shiloh Industries,
Inc., Mansfield Blanking Division, including on-site leased
workers from Legacy Staffing, Mansfield, Ohio, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of heavy gauged blanks
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 Shiloh Industries, Inc., Mansfield
Blanking Division, including on-site leased workers from
Legacy Staffing, Mansfield, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 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 December 20, 2011 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 17th day of November, 2011.
