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 10, 2013, applicable to workers of
Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., Electrolux Major
Appliances, a subsidiary of Electrolux North America, Inc.,
Webster City, Iowa (TA-W-82,702) and leased workers from
Cornerstone working on-site at Electrolux Home Care Products,
Inc., Webster City, Iowa (TA-W-82,702A). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of laundry
products and related technical services. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 30, 2013 (78 FR 32466).

At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that worker separations occurred during the
relevant time period at the 400 Des Moines Street, Webster City,
Iowa location of Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., a
subsidiary of Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Major
Appliances. The worker group also includes on-site leased
workers from Per Mar Security. A shift in the production of
laundry products and related technical services to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker separations at the 400 Des
Moines Street facility and the 1700 West Second Street facility
of the subject firm.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the 400 Des Moines Street, Webster City,
Iowa of Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Major
Appliances, including on-site leased workers from Per Mar
Security.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,702, TA-W-82,702A
and TA-W-82,702B are hereby issued as follows:
“All workers of Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., a
subsidiary of Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Major
Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa, (TA-W-82,702), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 16, 2013, through May 10, 2015, 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,
AND
All leased workers from Cornerstone, working on-site at
Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., Webster City, Iowa, (TA-
W-82,702A) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 29, 2012, through May 10, 2015,
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,
AND
All workers Electrolux Home Products, Inc., a subsidiary of
Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Major Appliances,
400 Des Moines Street, Webster City, Iowa (TA-W-82,702B) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 18, 2013, through May 10, 2015, 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 18th day of June, 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 May 1, 2013 by a company official on behalf of workers of
Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Electrolux
North America, Inc., Electrolux Major Appliances Division, Webster
City, Iowa. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to
production of laundry products and related technical services.
Workers of Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., a subsidiary
of Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Major Appliances
Division, Webster City, Iowa, were covered under a previous
certification (TA-W-75,085) for Trade Adjustment Assistance that
expired on February 15, 2013. That certification did not cover
on-site leased workers from Cornerstone.
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 articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Electrolux Home Care Products, Electrolux Major Appliances
Division.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Electrolux Home Care
Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Electrolux North America, Inc.,
Electrolux Major Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa, who are
engaged in activities related to production of laundry products and
related technical 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 Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., a
subsidiary of Electrolux North America, Inc., Electrolux Major
Appliances Division, Webster City, Iowa, (TA-W-82,702), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 16, 2013, 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,
AND
All leased workers from Cornerstone, working on-site at
Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., Webster City, Iowa, (TA-
W-82,702A) who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 29, 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,”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 10th day of May, 2013.
