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 May 16, 2013, applicable to workers of
Cannon Equipment Carts Department, a subsidiary of IMI Americas,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and The Work
Connection, Rosemount, Minnesota. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on May 30, 2013 (78 FR 32467).
At the request of the Minnesota State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. As the result of an earlier corporate decision, all
production and employees of the Rosemount Minnesota location of
Cannon Equipment, a subsidiary of IMI Americas, Inc. were
shifted to the Cannon Falls, Minnesota location of the subject
firm in order to improve the firm’s competitiveness and
profitability. Both locations experienced worker separations
during the relevant time period due to an increase of imports of
articles.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the Cannon Falls, Minnesota location of
Cannon Equipment, a subsidiary of IMI Americas, Inc.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
imports of articles.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,678 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers from Cannon Equipment, Carts Department,
a s subsidiary of IMI Americas, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek and The Work
Connection, Rosemount, Minnesota (TA-W-82,678) and
Cannon Equipment, a subsidiary of IMI Americas, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and The
Work Connection, Cannon Falls, Minnesota (TA-W-
82,678A) who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 19, 2012 through May
16, 2015, 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; 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 by a State Workforce Office on April 22, 2013 on behalf of
workers of Cannon Equipment, Carts Department, a subsidiary of
IMI Americas, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek
and The Work Connection, Rosemount, Minnesota. The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of material
handling carts.
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 material handling carts by Cannon Equipment,
Carts Department have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the material handling
carts produced by Cannon Equipment, Carts Department 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 Cannon Equipment,
Carts Department.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cannon Equipment, Carts
Department, a subsidiary of IMI Americas, Inc., Rosemount,
Minnesota, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of material handling carts 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 Cannon Equipment, Carts Department, a
subsidiary of IMI Americas, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and The Work Connection, Rosemount,
Minnesota, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 19, 2012, 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.”
