THE EVERCARE COMPANY
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
GLOBAL PERSONNEL SOLUTIONS AND MANPOWER
WAYNESBORO, GEORGIA
Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on September 14, 2012, applicable to workers and
former workers of The Evercare Company, Waynesboro, Georgia
(subject firm). The subject worker group included on-site leased
workers from Global Personnel Solutions.
In response to an inquiry by the State of Georgia, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. According to information provided by the subject firm and
Manpower, Manpower workers on-site at the subject firm supplied
staffing services and the separation of Manpower workers is due
to the subject firm’s acquisition from a foreign country the
production of articles like or directly competitive with the
consumer package goods produced by the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,932 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of The Evercare Company, including
on-site leased workers from Global Personnel
Solutions and Manpower, Waynesboro, Georgia, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 23, 2011 through
September 14, 2014, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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.”

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 August 31, 2012 by a company official on behalf of workers
of The Evercare Company, Waynesboro, Georgia (TA-W-81,932) and The
Evercare Company, Alpharetta, Georgia (TA-W-81,932A). The workers’
firm is engaged in activities related to production of consumer
package goods such as lint rollers, mops, brooms, scrub brushes and
toilet cleaners. The worker group includes leased workers from
Global Personnel Solutions on-site at the Waynesboro, Georgia
facility.
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 acquired articles from a foreign country like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers’ firm, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at The Evercare
Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Evercare Company,
Waynesboro, Georgia (TA-W-81,932) and The Evercare Company,
Alpharetta, Georgia (TA-W-81,832A), who are engaged in activities
related to the production of consumer package goods 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 The Evercare Company, including on-site leased
workers from Global Personnel Solutions, Waynesboro, Georgia
(TA-W-81,932) and The Evercare Company, Alpharetta, Georgia
(TA-W-81,932A) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 23, 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.”

of The Evercare Company, Waynesboro, Georgia (TA-W-81,932) and The
Evercare Company, Alpharetta, Georgia (TA-W-81,932A). The workers’
