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
for Trade Adjustment Assistance filed on November 8, 2013 by a
company official on behalf of workers of Creavey Seal Company, a
subsidiary of Sanders Industries, Scott Township, Pennsylvania
(Creavey Seal Company). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of industrial seals. The workers are
not separately identifiable by article produced. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Express Employment
and ERG Staffing.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Creavey Seal Company 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 industrial seals produced
by the subject worker group, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Creavey Seal Company, a subsidiary
of Sanders Industries, Scott Township, Pennsylvania.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Creavey Seal Company,
Scott Township, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of industrial seals, 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 Creavey Seal Company, a subsidiary of
Sanders Industries, including on-site leased workers from
Express Employment and ERG Staffing, Scott Township,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after November 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 18th day of November, 2013
