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 December 9, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Windsor USA, LLC, a subsidiary of Windsor Group,
Inc., Hebron, Kentucky (Windsor). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of support services.
Specifically, the workers supplied customer and technical
support service for the firm's production of injection molding
machines. The subject worker group includes workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through Windsor
Services, Inc.
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 the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Windsor.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Windsor USA, LLC, a
subsidiary of Windsor Group, Inc., workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages were reported through Windsor Services,
Inc., Hebron, Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of support services, specifically customer and
technical support services, 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 Windsor USA, LLC, a subsidiary of Windsor
Group, Inc., workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages were reported through Windsor Services, Inc., Hebron,
Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 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 24th day of December, 2013.
