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.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 1, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Android Industries-Detroit, a subsidiary of Android
Industries, LLC, Detroit, Michigan ("Android Industries-
Detroit"). Android Detroit is a value-added assembler for the
original equipment manufacturer (OEM). They assemble OEM owned
parts, shipped "just-in-time." The worker group is engaged in
activities related to the supply of OEM parts.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.
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 Android
Industries-Detroit 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 finished article that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the parts
assembly supplied by Android Industries-Detroit for a firm
that employed a certified worker group accounted for at least
20 percent of the production or sales of Android Industries-
Detroit.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Android Industries-
Detroit, a subsidiary of Android Industries, LLC, including
on-site leased workers from Focus: Hope Companies, Inc. and
Nesco Resource, Detroit, Michigan, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of OEM parts, 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 Android Industries-Detroit, a subsidiary
of Android Industries, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Focus: Hope Companies, Inc. and Nesco
Resource, Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 1,
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 30th day of October 2017.
