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 July 8, 2016 by the International Association of
Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), Local 1180 on behalf of
workers of Strippit, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of LVD
Company nv, including on-site leased workers from JaniMart
Janitorial Sales & Services, Durham Staffing, Inc., SelectOne,
and AppleOne, Akron, New York (herein referred to as
"Strippit, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of PPEC press brakes, punch press
machines, and tube laser cutting machines.
The worker group was previously certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-
85,053 which expired on May 20, 2016. The workers of JaniMart
Janitorial Sales & Services, and AppleOne were not named within
the certification.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Strippit, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Strippit, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of LVD Company nv, including on-site
leased workers from JaniMart Janitorial Sales & Services,
Durham Staffing, Inc., SelectOne, and AppleOne, Akron, New
York, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
PPEC press brakes, punch press machines, and tube laser
cutting machines 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 Strippit, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of LVD Company nv, including on-site leased workers from
Durham Staffing, Inc. and SelectOne, Akron, New York (TA-
W-91,994), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 21, 2016 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;
AND,
All workers of JaniMart Janitorial Sales & Services and
AppleOne, working on-site at Strippit, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of LVD Company nv, Akron, New York (TA-
W-91,994A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 1, 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 25th day of August 2016.
