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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
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) the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers’ separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term “Downstream Producer” as “a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for another
firm for articles or services with respect to which a group of
workers in such other firm has been certified under subsection (a)
[of Section 222 of the Act]” and defines the term “value-added
production processes or services” to “include final assembly,
finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or transportation
services.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 16, 2015 by the American Job Center on behalf
of workers of Richland Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Eagle Wings
Industries, Inc., Olney, Illinois (TA-W-91,140) and Eagle Wings
Industries, Inc., Rantoul, Illinois (TA-W-91,140A). The workers’
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of welded
sub-assemblies and stamping for chassis and suspension systems.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Jobworks, Unique and Innovative Staff Solutions.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Richland
Manufacturing, Olney, Illinois and Eagle Wings Industries, Inc.,
Rantoul, Illinois are Downstream Producers to a firm (or
subdivision, whichever is applicable) that employed a group of
workers who received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such production is
related to the actual finished article or service that was the
basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Richland Manufacturing, Olney, Illinois and Eagle
Wings Industries, Inc., Rantoul, Illinois with the
aforementioned firm contributed importantly to worker
separations at Richland Manufacturing, Olney, Illinois and Eagle
Wings Industries, Inc., Rantoul, Illinois.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Richland Manufacturing,
Olney, Illinois and Eagle Wings Industries, Inc., Rantoul,
Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of welded sub-assemblies and stamping for chassis and suspension
systems, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with
Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of Richland Manufacturing, a subsidiary of
Eagle Wings Industries, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Jobworks and Unique, Olney, Illinois (TA-W-
91,140) and Eagle Wings Industries, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Innovative Staff Solutions, Rantoul,
Illinois (TA-W-91,140A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 13, 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 6th day of February, 2016
