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 9, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cardone Industries, Inc., Support Services Staff,
5501 Whitaker Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,709)
and Cardone Industries, Inc., Support Services Staff, 5660
Rising Sun Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
94,709A)(hereafter referred as "Cardone Industries, Inc.").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of automotive parts. The workers the subject of the
investigation are engaged in activities related to the supply
of support services, rendering overhead and
sales/general/administrative services. The worker group also
consists of remote workers reporting from New Jersey, New
York, Delaware, Arizona, Georgia, Maryland, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania.
The worker group (TA-W-94,709) was certified eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number (TA-
W-91,807). The certification expired July 21, 2018.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner/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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Cardone Industries, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cardone Industries,
Inc., Support Services Staff, 5501 Whitaker Avenue,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,709) and Cardone
Industries, Inc., Support Services Staff, 5660 Rising Sun
Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,709A) who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of support services
rendering overhead and sales/general/administrative 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 Cardone Industries, Inc., Support
Services Staff, 5501 Whitaker Avenue, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-94,709), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 22,
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 of Cardone Industries, Inc., Support Services
Staff, 5660 Rising Sun Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-94,709A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 8, 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

Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of July 2019.
