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 October 18, 2013 by United Auto Workers (UAW) Local
2911 on behalf of workers of Navistar Truck and Development &
Technology Center, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of engineering
services in support of Navistar's production of truck and part
manufacturing facilities. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Populus Group, Technical Training, Inc., PPP
Careers, Otek Professional Services, Staffmark, Inc., and Mid-
States Technical.
Workers of Navistar Truck and Development & Technology
Center, including the on-site leased workers, Fort Wayne,
Indiana were certified under a previous petition (TA-W-75,151)
that expired on October 20, 2013.
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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Navistar Truck and
Development & Technology Center, including on-site leased
workers from Populus Group, Technical Training, Inc., PPP
Careers, Otek Professional Services, Staffmark, Inc., and Mid-
States Technical, Fort Wayne, Indiana, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of engineering services related
to Navistar's truck and part manufacturing facilities 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 Navistar Truck and Development &
Technology Center, including on-site leased workers from
Populus Group, Technical Training, Inc., PPP Careers, Otek
Professional Services, Staffmark, Inc., and Mid-States
Technical, Fort Wayne, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 21,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 21st day of November, 2013.
