WOLFE TORY MEDICAL INC.
A SUBSIDIARY OF TELEFLEX, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
AEROTEK, EXPRESS EMPLOYMENT,
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, SYNERGY STAFFING, AND ROBERT HALF
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Amended 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 issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on June 22, 2017, applicable to workers of Wolfe Tory
Medical Inc., a subsidiary of Teleflex, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Express Employment, Medical
Professionals, and Synergy Staffing, Salt Lake City, Utah. The
Department’s notice of determination will soon be published in the
Federal Register.
At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of medical device supplies for
medical and surgical applications.
The company reports that workers leased from Robert Half were
employed on-site at the Salt Lake City, Utah location of Wolfe Tory
Medical Inc., a subsidiary of Teleflex, Inc. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control
of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Robert Half working
on-site at the Salt Lake City, Utah location of Wolfe Tory Medical
Inc., a subsidiary of Teleflex, Inc.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-92,933 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Wolfe Tory Medical Inc., a subsidiary of
Teleflex, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Express Employment, Medical Professionals,
Synergy Staffing, and Robert Half, Salt Lake City, Utah,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 5, 2016, through June 22, 2019, 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 7th day of August, 2017

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

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 June 6, 2017 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Wolfe Tory Medical Inc., a subsidiary of Teleflex,
Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah ("Wolfe Tory Medical Inc."). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of medical device supplies for medical and surgical
applications. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Express Employment, Medical Professionals,
and Synergy Staffing
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Wolfe Tory Medical Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wolfe Tory Medical
Inc., a subsidiary of Teleflex, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Express Employment, Medical
Professionals, and Synergy Staffing, Salt Lake City, Utah, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of medical
device supplies for medical and surgical applications 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 Wolfe Tory Medical Inc., a subsidiary of
Teleflex, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Express Employment, Medical Professionals, and
Synergy Staffing, Salt Lake City, Utah, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 5,
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 22nd day of June 2017.
