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.

"Firm includes an individual proprietorship, partnership,
joint venture, association, corporation (including a development
corporation), business trust, cooperative, trustee in bankruptcy,
and receiver under decree of any court." 29 CFR 90.2
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 1, 2016, by a company official on behalf of workers
of MechoShade Systems, f/k/a MechoShade West, Inc., a subsidiary
of Spring Window Fashions, including on-site leased workers from
Elwood Staffing, Intermountain Staffing, Prologistix Resources MFG
and Solutions Staffing, Phoenix, Arizona (MechoShade). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of solar shade window coverings.
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 MechoShade 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 the solar shade window produced by
the subject workers, which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at MechoShade.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of MechoShade Systems,
f/k/a MechoShade West, Inc., a subsidiary of Spring Window
Fashions, including on-site leased workers from Elwood Staffing,
Intermountain Staffing, Prologistix Resources MFG and Solutions
Staffing, Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of solar shade window coverings, 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 MechoShade Systems, f/k/a MechoShade West,
Inc., a subsidiary of Spring Window Fashions, including on-
site leased workers from Elwood Staffing, Intermountain
Staffing, Prologistix Resources MFG and Solutions Staffing,
Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 31, 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 21st day of June 2016.
