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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 6, 2012, by a one stop operator on behalf of
workers of Classic Industries, Inc., Texas Division, including
on-site leased workers from Adecco and ITS Quest, El Paso,
Texas (Classic Industries). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of logistics distribution
services. The subject worker group includes workers providing
logistics distribution services for the subject firm's parent
company that designs and manufactures medical devices.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm via a business data request.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Classic Industries.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Classic Industries,
Inc., Texas Division, including on-site leased workers from
Adecco and ITS Quest, El Paso, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of logistic distribution
services, 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 Classic Industries, Inc., Texas Division,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco and ITS
Quest, El Paso, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 1, 2011
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of February, 2012
