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 May 18, 2012 by a One-Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of Cardinal ST Company, a subsidiary of Cardinal Glass
Industries, Mazomanie, Wisconsin. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to production of tempered glass
for photovoltaic panels.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and a major declining
customer.
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 sales
and/or production of tempered glass by Cardinal ST Company
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
tempered glass produced by Cardinal ST Company have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Cardinal ST Company.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cardinal ST
Company, a subsidiary of Cardinal Glass Industries, Mazomanie,
Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of tempered glass for photovoltaic panels, 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 Cardinal ST Company, a subsidiary of
Cardinal Glass Industries, Mazomanie, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 17, 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 20th day of June, 2012.
