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 October 22, 2012 by the Transport Workers Union of
America Air Transport, Local 563 on behalf of workers of
American Airlines, O'Hare International Airport, Aircraft
Maintenance and Related, Chicago, Illinois. 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, O'Hare
International Airport, Aircraft Maintenance and Related,
Chicago, Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American Airlines,
O'Hare International Airport, Aircraft Maintenance and
Related, Chicago, Illinois, 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, O'Hare 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, Chicago, Illinois, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
October 18, 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
