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 December 6, 2012, applicable to workers
of SST Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc. company, Garland,
Texas, including on-site leased workers from Employee Solutions,
Populus Group, and ODW Contract Services. The Department’s
notice of determination was published in the Federal Register on
January 4, 2013 (78 FR 768).
At the request of the state workforce office, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers were engaged in activities related to the
production of class 4-8 trucks.
The company reports that workers leased from Encore,
International Business Machines (IBM), Akzo Nobel, US Security,
ASF Logistics, LLC, Briggs Equipment, William Thomas Group, DXP
Enterprises, Inc., and Prestige Maintenance USA were employed
on-site at the 4030 Forest Lane, Garland, Texas location of SST
Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc. company. The Department
has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
In addition, new information shows that some workers
separated from employment at SST Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar,
Inc. had their wages reported through a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account under the name International Truck
and Engine Corporation.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Encore,
International Business Machines (IBM), Akzo Nobel, US Security,
ASF Logistics, LLC, Briggs Equipment, William Thomas Group, DXP
Enterprises, Inc., and Prestige Maintenance USA working on-site
at the 4030 Forest Lane, Garland, Texas location of SST Truck
Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc. company, and workers whose
unemployment insurance wages were reported through International
Truck and Engine Corporation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,128 is hereby
issued as follows:


"All workers of SST Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc.
company, 4030 Forrest Lane, Garland, Texas, and workers of SST
Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc. company, 4030 Forrest
Lane, including on-site leased workers from Employee
Solutions, Populus Group, ODW Contract Services, Encore,
International Business Machines (IBM), Akzo Nobel, US
Security, ASF Logistics, LLC, Briggs Equipment, William Thomas
Group, DXP Enterprises, Inc., and Prestige Maintenance USA,
and including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages
are reported through International Truck and Engine
Corporation, Garland, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 2, 2011 through
December 6, 2014, 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 2nd day of July, 2013.

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 November 5, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of SST Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc. company,
Garland, Texas (SST Truck Company, LLC). The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of class 4-8
trucks. The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Employee Solutions, Populus Group, and ODW Contract Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioner.
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 an article like
or directly competitive with the article produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at SST
Truck Company, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of SST Truck Company, LLC,
a Navistar, Inc. company, including on-site leased workers from
Employee Solutions, Populus Group, and ODW Contract Services,
Garland, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of class 4-8 trucks 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 SST Truck Company, LLC, a Navistar, Inc.
company, including on-site leased workers from Employee
Solutions, Populus Group, and ODW Contract Services, Garland,
Texas, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 2, 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.”
