GREDE - RADFORD
A SUBSIDIARY OF GREDE HOLDINGS LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM GSI
RADFORD, VIRGINIA

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 September 10, 2013 on behalf of workers of Grede Omaha
LLC, a subsidiary of Grede Holdings LLC, Radford, Virginia.
The workers at the subject firm produce grey iron and ductile
iron casting. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from GSI.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the subject firm and the U.S. International
Trade Commission.
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 grey iron and ductile iron casting Grede
Omaha LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with the article
produced by Grede Omaha LLC, 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 Grede Omaha LLC,
a subsidiary of Grede Holdings LLC, Radford, Virginia.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Grede Omaha LLC, a
subsidiary of Grede Holdings LLC, Radford, Virginia, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of grey iron and
ductile iron casting 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 Grede Omaha LLC, a subsidiary of Grede
Holdings LLC, including on-site leased workers from GSI,
Radford, Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 9, 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,
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 4th day of November, 2013
