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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 15, 2012 on behalf of workers of The Henkel-
Harris Co., Inc., Winchester, Virginia. The firm produces case
goods such as bedroom, dining room and executive furniture of
high quality. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Manpower and Spherion Staffing LLC.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of case goods produced by The Henkel-Harris
Co., Inc., Winchester, Virginia have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because aggregate
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by The Henkel-Harris Co., Inc., Winchester,
Virginia have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at The Henkel-Harris
Co., Inc., Winchester, Virginia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Henkel-Harris Co.,
Inc., Winchester, Virginia, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of case 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 Henkel-Harris Co., Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Manpower and Spherion Staffing LLC,
Winchester, Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 14, 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, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
