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 February 24, 2017 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Mayflower Vehicle Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of
Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., Shadyside, Ohio (herein
referred to as "Mayflower"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of steel stampings and
light assemblies for heavy trucks.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and
customer(s) of the 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 steel stampings and light assemblies for
heavy trucks by Mayflower have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Mayflower have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Mayflower.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mayflower Vehicle
Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc.,
Shadyside, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of steel stampings and light assemblies for heavy
trucks 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 Mayflower Vehicle Systems, LLC, a
subsidiary of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc., Shadyside,
Ohio, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 23, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 25th day of May 2017.
