SCHAUMBURG, ILLINOIS

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 February 15, 2017 by the State of Illinois on behalf of
workers of Luvo USA, LLC, a subsidiary of Luvo, Inc., Schaumburg,
Illinois (Luvo). Luvo is engaged in activities related to the
production of frozen plated meal entrees. The worker group does
not include on-site leased workers.
During the investigation, the Department obtained information
from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Luvo have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because Luvo acquired from
a foreign country the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the frozen plated meal entrees produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Luvo.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Luvo, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of frozen plated meal
entrees, 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 Luvo USA, LLC, a subsidiary of Luvo, Inc.,
Schaumburg, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 14, 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."
