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 May 5, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Mondi Akrosil, LLC, Consumer Packaging Division, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Mondi International Holdings B.V.,
Lancaster, Ohio ("Mondi Akrosil, LLC"). The subject worker group
is engaged in activities related to the production of release
liners. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Iforce and Aerotek.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the 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)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at Mondi
Akrosil, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mondi Akrosil, LLC,
Consumer Packaging Division, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mondi
International Holdings B.V., including on-site leased workers
from Iforce and Aerotek, Lancaster, Ohio, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of release liners, 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 Mondi Akrosil, LLC, Consumer Packaging
Division, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mondi International
Holdings B.V., including on-site leased workers from Iforce
and Aerotek, Lancaster, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 4, 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 18th day of August 2017.
