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 March 16, 2017 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Holland, Inc., Corporate Inside Sales Department, a
subsidiary of YRC Worldwide, Inc., Holland, Michigan. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
the sale of LTL freight services from the corporate office via
telephone and email.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Holland, Inc., Corporate Inside Sales Department, a subsidiary
of YRC Worldwide, Inc., Holland, Michigan.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Holland, Inc.,
Corporate Inside Sales Department, a subsidiary of YRC
Worldwide, Inc., Holland, Michigan, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of the sale of LTL freight
services from the corporate office via telephone and email
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 Holland, Inc., Corporate Inside Sales
Department, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide, Inc., Holland,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 19th day of April 2017.
