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 August 26, 2016, by the company official on behalf of
workers of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., Global Construction,
Agriculture and Military (GCAM) Division, including workers
whose wages were reported under CVG Monona Wire LLC, Monona,
Iowa (Commercial Vehicle Group). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of electronic wire
harness assemblies. Workers at the subject firm are separately
identifiable according to the respective process. The subject
worker group does not include any on-site leased workers.
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 Commercial Vehicle Group
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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the electronic wire harness
assemblies produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Commercial Vehicle Group.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Commercial Vehicle
Group, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of electronic wire harness assemblies, 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 Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., Global
Construction, Agriculture and Military (GCAM) Division,
including workers whose wages were reported under CVG
Monona Wire LLC, Monona, Iowa, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 23,
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 October 2016.
