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 March 13, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Astoria Warehousing, a dually owned subsidiary of
Peter Pan Seafoods, Inc. and Icicle Seafoods, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Total Employment and Management
(TEAM), Astoria, Oregon ("Astoria Warehousing"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
canned salmon, including storage, labeling, and packaging.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, the parent
companies of the workers' firm, and major 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
and/or production of canned salmon by Astoria Warehousing have
decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Astoria Warehousing 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
Astoria Warehousing.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Astoria Warehousing,
a dually owned subsidiary of Peter Pan Seafoods, Inc. and
Icicle Seafoods, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Total Employment and Management (TEAM), Astoria, Oregon, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of canned
salmon 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 Astoria Warehousing, a dually owned
subsidiary of Peter Pan Seafoods, Inc. and Icicle
Seafoods, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Total Employment and Management (TEAM), Astoria, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after March 12, 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 21st day of August 2018.
