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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 27, 2016 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Safelite Glass Corp., Enfield Division, a subsidiary of
Safelite Group, Inc., Enfield, North Carolina (herein known as
"Safelite Glass Corp." or "workers' firm"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of automobile
windshields. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Action Staffing Group.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of articles produced by Safelite Glass Corp.
have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because company
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Safelite Glass Corp. have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased company imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Safelite Glass Corp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Safelite Glass Corp.,
Enfield Division, a subsidiary of Safelite Group, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Action Staffing Group,
Enfield, North Carolina, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of automobile windshields 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 Safelite Glass Corp., Enfield Division, a
subsidiary of Safelite Group, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Action Staffing Group, Enfield, North
Carolina, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 26, 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 2017.
