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 by a company official on March 6, 2012 on behalf of workers
of Trim Systems Operating Corp., a subsidiary of Commercial
Vehicle Group, Inc., Statesville, North Carolina. The workers’
firm is engaged in activities related to production of interior
headliners, backwall and sidewall panels, flooring, curtains, and
bunks for commercial vehicles. The worker group includes workers
reporting wages under FEIN 41-1990662 and 41-1921605. The worker
group also includes on-site leased workers from Staffmark.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
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 shifted the production of artlcles like or directly
competitive to interior headliners, backwall and sidewall panels,
flooring, curtains, and bunks to a foreign country, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Trim
Systems Operating Corp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trim Systems Operating
Corp., a subsidiary of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Staffmark, Statesville, North
Carolina, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of interior headliners, backwall and sidewall panels, flooring,
curtains, and bunks, 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 Trim Systems Operating Corp., a subsidiary
of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Staffmark, Statesville, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 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.”
