INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
ACRO SERVICE CORPORATION AND KYYBA INC.
NOVI, MICHIGAN
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 November 9, 2018, applicable to workers of Harman
International Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung
Electronics, Connected Car Division, including on-site leased
workers from Acro Service Corporation, Novi, Michigan. The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on December 18, 2018 (83 FR 64879).
At the request of a state workforce office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in activities related to the production of
prototype audio and automotive equipment.
The company reports that workers leased from Kyyba Inc. were
employed on-site at the Novi, Michigan location of Harman
International Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung
Electronics, Connected Car Division. 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 on-site leased workers from Kyyba Inc.
working on-site at the Novi, Michigan location of Harman
International Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung
Electronics, Connected Car Division.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-94,272 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Harman International Industries, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, Connected Car
Division, including on-site leased workers from Acro
Service Corporation and Kyyba Inc., Novi, Michigan, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after October 12, 2017, through November 9, 2020, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through November 9, 2020, 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 15th day of November, 2019.

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 October 24, 2018 by company official on behalf of
workers of Harman International Industries, Inc., a subsidiary
of Samsung Electronics, Connected Car Division, including on-
site leased workers from Acro Service Corporation, Novi,
Michigan, (herein referred to as "Harman"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of prototype
audio and automotive equipment. The worker group is not
separately identifiable by articles produced.
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 Harman.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harman International
Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics,
Connected Car Division, including on-site leased workers from
Acro Service Corporation, Novi, Michigan, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of prototype audio and
automotive equipment 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
"All workers of Harman International Industries, Inc., a
subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, Connected Car
Division, including on-site leased workers from Acro
Service Corporation, Novi, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 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."
