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 February 22, 2016 by the United Steelworkers, Local
104 on behalf of workers of Alcoa Inc., Warrick Operations,
Global Primary Products division, Newburgh, Indiana (herein
known as "Alcoa Inc." or "workers' firm"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of primary
molten aluminum. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from ICON and Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 relatively shifted to a foreign country the production
of an article like or directly competitive with the article
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Alcoa Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alcoa Inc., Warrick
Operations, Global Primary Products division, including on-
site leased workers from ICON and Manpower, Newburgh, Indiana,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
primary molten aluminum 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 Alcoa Inc., Warrick Operations, Global
Primary Products division, including on-site leased
workers from ICON and Manpower, Newburgh, Indiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 5, 2015 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 19th day of April 2016.
