(SEEK PROFESSIONALS, LLC), AND LUCAS GROUP
RINGWOOD, ILLINOIS
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 October 2, 2014, applicable to
workers of Modine Manufacturing Company, Ringwood,
Illinois, including on-site leased workers from
Masterson, Working World, and Aerotek. The
Department’s notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on October
2, 2014 (79 FR 59518).
At the request of a company official, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers
of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in
the production of aluminum oil coolers, condensers,
and radiators for automotive, on-highway, off-highway,
recreational vehicles, military and heavy duty
semi-trucks.
The company reports that workers leased
from ReEmploy (SEEK Professionals, LLC, and Lucas
Group were employed on-site at the Ringwood,
Illinois location of Modine Manufacturing Company.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to
be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is
amending this certification to include workers leased
from ReEmploy (SEEK Professionals, LLC, and Lucas Group
working on-site at the Ringwood, Illinois location of
Modine Manufacturing.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-85,533 is

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.”

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM

RINGWOOD, ILLINOIS
Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade 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, or an appropriate
subdivision of the firm, have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally
or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i) there has been a shift in production by such
workers' firm or subdivision to a foreign country of
articles like or directly competitive with articles
which are produced by such firm or subdivision; and
(ii)(I) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States;
(II) the country to which the workers' firm has
shifted production of the articles is a beneficiary
under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or the
Caribbean Basin Economic Act; or
(III) there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of articles that are like or
directly competitive with articles which are or were
produced by such firm or subdivision
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 12, 2014 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Modine Manufacturing Company, Ringwood,
Illinois. The workers' firm is engaged activities related to
the production of aluminum oil coolers, condensers, and
radiators for automotive, on-highway, off-highway,
recreational vehicles, military and heavy duty semi-trucks.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Masterson,
Working World, and Aerotek.
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 are
threatened to become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the threat of
employment decline is related to the shift in production of
aluminum oil coolers, condensers, and radiators to a foreign
country that is party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 26 U.S.C. 2813, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 246 (a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Trade Act are satisfied
if the following criteria are met:
(I) Whether a significant number of workers in the
workers' firm are 50 years of age or older;
(II) Whether the workers in the workers' firm possess
skills that are not easily transferable; and
(III) The competitive conditions within the workers'
industry (i.e., conditions within the industry
are adverse).
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(I) has been met because a
significant number of workers in the workers' firm are 50 years
of age or older.
Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(II) has been met because the
workers in the workers' firm possess skills that are not easily
transferrable.
Finally, Section 246(a)(3)(A)(ii)(III) has been met because
conditions within the workers' industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Modine Manufacturing
Company, including on-site leased workers from Masterson,
Working World, and Aerotek, Ringwood, Illinois, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of aluminum oil coolers,
condensers, and radiators 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 Modine Manufacturing Company, including on-
site leased workers from Masterson, Working World, and
Aerotek, Ringwood, Illinois, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
11, 2013, 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,
and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
