A SUBSIDIARY OF TIDI PRODUCTS HOLDINGS, LLC

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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 16, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers
of TIDI Products, LLC, a subsidiary of TIDI Products Holdings,
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Inc.,
Fenton, Michigan (TIDI Products, LLC). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of medical
devices such as patient positioning aids, radiation protection
equipment and contract assembly medical device components.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioners and the major
declining customer(s) of 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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales or
production of medical devices such as patient positioning aids,
radiation protection equipment and contract assembly medical
device components by TIDI Products have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because the
customer imports of articles like or directly competitive with
the article produced by TIDI Products, LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at TIDI
Products, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TIDI Products, LLC, a
subsidiary of TIDI Products Holdings, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Inc., Fenton, Michigan, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of medical
devices such as patient positioning aids, radiation protection
equipment and contract assembly medical device components 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 TIDI Products, LLC, a subsidiary of TIDI
Products Holdings, LLC, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Inc., Fenton, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
13, 2017 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 23rd day of May 2018.
