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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));

(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (1) is published in the Federal
Register; and

(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b)(1), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 24, 2013 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Just Manufacturing Company, Franklin Park,
Illinois. The worker group is also inclusive of on-site
leased workers from Aerotek Commercial Staffing and Andrews
Staffing. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of stainless steel sinks.
The investigation revealed that on April 10, 2013, the
International Trade Commission found that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
drawn stainless steel sinks from China. A petition has been
filed on behalf of workers of Just Manufacturing Company. That
firm was publicly identified by name by the International Trade
Commission as a member of a domestic industry in an
investigation resulting in a category of determination that is
listed in Section 222(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In
addition, that determination was published in the Federal
Register on April 10, 2013, which is within one year of the
date of the petition, filed requesting Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Just Manufacturing
Company, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek
Commercial Staffing and Andrews Staffing, Franklin Park,
Illinois, engaged in activities related to the production of
stainless steel sinks meet the requirements of Section 222(e)
of the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, I make
the following certification:










"All workers of Just Manufacturing Company, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek Commercial Staffing and
Andrews Staffing, Franklin Park, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or
after April 10, 2012, through the date of the certification
and who become totally or partially separated from that
employment from the date of the certification through
April 10, 2014, and all workers in the group threatened
with total or partial separation from employment on the
date of certification through April 10, 2014, 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 February, 2014.
