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 September 8, 2015 on behalf of workers of Toyota
Tsusho America, Inc., Farmington Hills, Michigan (herein known
as "Toyota Tsusho America, Inc." or "workers' firm"). The
workers' firm also encompasses on-site leased workers from on-
site leased workers from Pasona, Robert Half, Top Chicago, Delta
Search Group, United Recruiters/Mr. Japanese, Confidential
Recruiters, GTA, Ltd. (Global Technology Associates), Step USA,
LLC, Interesse International Inc., Actus Consulting. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
sales and delivery support services of electronic components
for automotive suppliers located in Mexico.
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 service like
or directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Toyota Tsusho America, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Toyota Tsusho
America, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Pasona,
Robert Half, Top Chicago, Delta Search Group, United
Recruiters/Mr. Japanese, Confidential Recruiters, GTA, Ltd.
(Global Technology Associates), Step USA, LLC, Interesse
International Inc., Actus Consulting, Farmington Hills,
Michigan, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
sales and delivery support services of electronic components
for automotive suppliers located in Mexico 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 Toyota Tsusho America, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Pasona, Robert Half, Top Chicago,
Delta Search Group, United Recruiters/Mr. Japanese,
Confidential Recruiters, GTA, Ltd. (Global Technology
Associates), Step USA, LLC, Interesse International Inc.,
Actus Consulting, Farmington Hills, Michigan, Farmington
Hills, Michigan, engaged in activities related to the
supply of sales and delivery support services of
electronic components for automotive suppliers located in
Mexico, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 1, 2014, 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 20th day of November 2015.
