ELKHART, INDIANA
Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on August 31, 2016, applicable to workers
of CTS Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Specialized Staffing and Manpower, Elkhart, Indiana. The
workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of accelerator pedals and actuators for the automotive industry.
The notice has not been published in the Federal Register as of
yet.
At the request of the state workforce office, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of CTS
Corporation.
The subject firm reports that workers leased from Aerotek,
Personnel Partners, Talent Source Staffing, and Tech USA were
employed on-site at the Elkhart, Indiana location of CTS
Corporation. The Department has determined that these workers
were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Aerotek, Personnel
Partners, Talent Source Staffing, and Tech USA working on-site
at the Elkhart, Indiana location of CTS Corporation.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-92,005 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of CTS Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Specialized Staffing, Manpower,
Aerotek, Personnel Partners, Talent Source Staffing,
and Tech USA, Elkhart, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July
8, 2015, through August 31, 2018, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation
from employment on 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.”

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 11, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
workers of CTS Corporation, Elkhart, Indiana (CTS Corporation).
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Specialized Staffing and Manpower. The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of accelerator pedals
and actuators for the automotive industry. The workers are not
separately identifiable by 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 CTS Corporation 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 articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CTS Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CTS Corporation, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of
accelerator pedals and actuators for the automotive industry,
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 CTS Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Specialized Staffing and Manpower, Elkhart,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 8, 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."
