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 December 14, 2017 by United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service
Workers International (USW) on behalf of workers of Pittsburgh
Glass Works LLC, Creighton Plant, a subsidiary of Vitro S.A.B.
de C.V., including on-site leased workers from Belcan
Technical Services and Robert Half Management Resources,
Creighton, Pennsylvania (herein referred to as "Pittsburgh
Glass Works"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of automotive windshields.
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Pittsburgh Glass Works.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pittsburgh Glass
Works LLC, Creighton Plant, a subsidiary of Vitro S.A.B. de
C.V., including on-site leased workers from Belcan Technical
Services and Robert Half Management Resources, Creighton,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of automotive windshields, 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 Pittsburgh Glass Works LLC, Creighton
Plant, a subsidiary of Vitro S.A.B. de C.V., including
on-site leased workers from Belcan Technical Services and
Robert Half Management Resources, Creighton, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after December 13, 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 20th day of April 2018.
