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 July 24, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Noxell Corporation, Wella Corporation, HFC Prestige
International US, a subsidiary of Coty Inc., including on-site
workers from Gus Perdikakis Associates ("GPA") Inc., Manpower,
Inc., On Line Design Inc., ETechnologies, and YourEncore, Blue
Ash, Ohio (herein referred to as "Coty, Blue Ash").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of marketing, design, sales, research and development,
planning, external operations, and external operations quality
assurance services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Coty, Blue Ash.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Noxell Corporation,
Wella Corporation, HFC Prestige International US, a subsidiary
of Coty Inc., including on-site workers from Gus Perdikakis
Associates ("GPA") Inc., Manpower, Inc., On Line Design Inc.,
ETechnologies, and YourEncore, Blue Ash, Ohio, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of marketing, design, sales,
research and development, planning, external operations, and
external operations quality assurance services 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 workers of Noxell Corporation, Wella
Corporation, HFC Prestige International US, a subsidiary of
Coty Inc., including on-site leased workers from Gus
Perdikakis Associates ("GPA") Inc., Manpower, Inc., On Line
Design Inc., ETechnologies, and YourEncore, Blue Ash, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after July 23, 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 14th day of September 2018.
