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 December 12, 2013, applicable to workers of Inalfa Roof Systems Grand Blanc, a subsidiary of Inalfa Roof Systems, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Sentech, Holly, Michigan. The Department’s Notice of Determination was published in the Federal Register on January 10, 2014 (79 FR 1893).
In response to a petition (TA-W-85,336) filed by the state workforce office on behalf of workers at Inalfa Roof Systems – Silverbell, a subsidiary of Inalfa Roof System, Inc., Lake Orion, Michigan, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The firm is engaged in production of sunroofs and glass roof modules. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Adecco.
The investigation confirmed that worker separations at the Lake Orion, Michigan facility are attributable to the shift in production by Inalafa Roof Systems from Holly, Michigan to a foreign country.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-83,199 is hereby issued as follows:

"All workers Inalfa Roof Systems Grand Blanc, a subsidiary of Inalfa Roof Systems, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Senetech, Holly, Michigan (TA-W-83,244) and Inalfa Roof Systems – Silverbell, a subsidiary of Inalfa Roof System, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Adecco, Lake Orion, Michigan (TA-W-83,244A), who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 25, 2012 through December 12, 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.”

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 November 26, 2013 by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America on behalf of workers of Inalfa Roof Systems Grand
Blanc, a subsidiary of Inalfa Roof Systems, Inc., Holly,
Michigan. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of sunroofs and glass roof modules. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek and Sentech.
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 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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Inalfa Roof Systems Grand Blanc, a subsidiary
of Inalfa Roof Systems, Inc., Holly, Michigan.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Inalfa Roof Systems
Grand Blanc, a subsidiary of Inalfa Roof Systems, Inc., Holly,
Michigan, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of sunroofs and glass roof modules 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 Inalfa Roof Systems Grand Blanc, a
subsidiary of Inalfa Roof Systems, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek and Sentech, Holly,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 25, 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 0date 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 12th day of December, 2013
