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 November 19, 2015 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cleveland Range LLC, a division of Manitowoc
Foodservice, Cleveland, Ohio (TA-W-91,161) and Fort Wayne,
Indiana (TA-W-91,161A) (hereafter collectively referred to as
"Cleveland Range"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of commercial cooking equipment.
Workers are not separately defined by the article produced.
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 production of articles like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Cleveland Range.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cleveland Range LLC,
Cleveland, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of commercial cooking
equipment, 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 Cleveland Range LLC, a Division of Manitowoc
Foodservice, Cleveland, Ohio (TA-W-91,161), and Cleveland
Range LLC, a Division of Manitowoc Foodservice, Fort Wayne,
Indiana (TA-W-91,161A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 18, 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."
