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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or
production is related to the article or service that was
the basis for such certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers' separation or threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 3, 2017 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of M+W U.S., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of M+W
Americas, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of M+W Group GmbH, Plano,
Texas (M+W U.S.). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of design, engineering, and construction
services primarily for high tech facilities and major complex
projects. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
NSTAR Global Services.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because workers of M+W U.S.
is a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the
actual finished article or service that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by M+W U.S with the aforementioned firm contributed
importantly to worker separations M+W U.S., Inc., Plano, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of M+W U.S., who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of design,
engineering, and construction services, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
§ 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of M+W U.S., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
M+W Americas, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of M+W Group GmbH,
including on-site leased workers from NSTAR Global Services,
Inc., Plano, Texas who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 2, 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."
