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 April 17, 2012 on behalf of workers of Pemco World Air
Services, Inc., a subsidiary of WAS Aviation Services, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from APA Services, Arnaldo J.
Chavarria, Job Air Group, Johnson Service Group, L2 Consulting
Services, Inc., PlaneTechs, LLC, Quanta Staffing Solutions, and
S.M.A.R.T., Inc., Dothan, Alabama (Pemco). The workers' firm
supplies aircraft maintenance, repair and conversion services.
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 Pemco's sales
of aircraft maintenance, repair and conversion services have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
aircraft maintenance, repair and conversion services supplied by
Pemco have increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports of aircraft maintenance, repair and
conversion services contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales declines at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pemco World Air
Services, Inc., a subsidiary of WAS Aviation Services, Inc.,
Dothan, Alabama, 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 Pemco World Air Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of WAS Aviation Services, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from APA Services, Arnaldo J.
Chavarria, Job Air Group, Johnson Service Group, L2
Consulting Services, Inc., PlaneTechs, LLC, Quanta Staffing
Solutions, and S.M.A.R.T., Inc., Dothan, Alabama, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 16, 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."
