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 April 2, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Bryant Rubber Corp., including
on-site leased workers from Kimco, Harbor City, California
(TA-W-94,682) and workers whose wages were reported through
ADP TotalSource-PEO (TA-W-94,682A) (hereafter collectively
referred to as "Bryant Rubber-Harbor City"). Workers of Bryant
Rubber-Harbor City are engaged in activities related to the
production of engineered rubber molded components for use in
the aerospace, automotive, medical device, food and beverage,
gas/fluid regulation and general industry markets.
Workers of Bryant Rubber Corp., including on-site leased
workers from Kimco, Harbor City, California (TA-W-94,682) were
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under
TA-W-92,140 (certification expired on October 20, 2018). The
certification of TA-W-92,140 excluded workers whose wages were
reported through ADP TotalSource-PEO.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Bryant Rubber-Harbor City
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the engineered rubber
molded components produced by the subject workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Bryant
Rubber-Harbor City.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bryant Rubber-Harbor
City, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
engineered rubber molded 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 Bryant Rubber Corp., including on-site
leased workers from Kimco, Harbor City, California (TA-W-
94,682), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 21, 2018 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;
AND
All workers whose wages were reported through ADP
TotalSource-PEO (TA-W-94,682A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 1,
2018 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 18th day of June 2019.
