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 August 8, 2013 by the state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Easy Way Leisure Corporation, including on-site leased
from trustaff Personnel Services, CFA Staffing Services and
workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported
through Employee Management Services, CBS Personnel Services,
Cincinnati, Ohio (hereafter referred to as "Easy Way" or "subject
firm"). The subject firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of outdoor cushions and umbrellas for the outdoor
furniture industry.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Easy Way 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 outdoor cushions and umbrellas
produced by the workers, which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Easy Way.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Easy Way Leisure
Corporation, including on-site leased from trustaff Personnel
Services, CFA Staffing Services and workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI)wages are reported through Employee Management
Services, CBS Personnel Services, Cincinnati, Ohio, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of outdoor
cushions and umbrellas, 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 Easy Way Leisure Corporation, including on-
site leased from trustaff Personnel Services, CFA Staffing
Services and workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)wages
are reported through Employee Management Services, CBS
Personnel Services, Cincinnati, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 7,
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 13th day of September, 2013
