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 September 10, 2012 by the Transport Workers Union of
America Air Transport, Local 565 on behalf of workers of
American Airlines, Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport,
Aircraft Maintenance and Related, DFW Airport, Texas. The
worker group is engaged in activities related to the supply of
maintenance services for passenger aircraft. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek Inc., CornerStone
Staffing, RPC Staffing Company, Henderson Taylor Staffing,
Johnson Service Group, Accounting Principals and On
Assignment.
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 from a foreign country services that are
like or directly competitive with the maintenance services
supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at American Airlines, Dallas-Ft.
Worth International Airport, Aircraft Maintenance and Related,
DFW Airport, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American Airlines,
Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport, Aircraft Maintenance
and Related, DFW Airport, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of aircraft maintenance services, 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 American Airlines, Dallas-Ft. Worth
International Airport, Aircraft Maintenance and Related,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek Inc.,
CornerStone Staffing, RPC Staffing Company, Henderson
Taylor Staffing, Johnson Service Group, Accounting
Principals and On Assignment, DFW Airport, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after September 6, 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 15th day of November, 2012
