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 June 4, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Konstant Products, Inc., Quincy Manufacturing
Plant, wholly owned by Konstant Product Holding, a subsidiary
of EconoRack Group, Quincy, Illinois (hereafter referred to as
"Konstant Products, Inc." or "subject firm). The workers'
firm was engaged in employment related to the production of
structural storage racking systems. The workers' firm produced
structural storage racking systems. The subject worker group
does not include any leased workers.
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 to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the structural
storage racking systems produced by the subject firm, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Konstant Products, Inc., Quincy, Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Konstant Products,
Inc., Quincy Manufacturing Plant, wholly owned by Konstant
Product Holding, a subsidiary of EconoRack Group, Quincy,
Illinois, who were engaged in employment related to the
production of structural storage racking systems, 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 Konstant Products, Inc., Quincy
Manufacturing Plant, wholly owned by Konstant Product
Holding, a subsidiary of EconoRack Group, Quincy,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 1, 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 20th day of June, 2012
