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 25, 2019 by an authorized representative on
behalf of workers of LEDVANCE LLC, f/k/a OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., a
subsidiary of LEDVANCE Gmbh, including on-site leased workers
from Manpower Inc.; Wortman Controls, Inc.; W & W Sons
Contracting; ManpowerGroup US Inc.; Penn Highlands Elk; B & T
Cleaning; Experis; and Beimel Transportation, Saint Mary's,
Pennsylvania ("hereafter referred as "LEDVANCE LLC").
The group of workers was previously certified eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-
W-92,866, which expires July 26, 2019. The certification did
not include workers of B & T Cleaning, Experis, or Beimel
Transportation.
The group of workers are engaged in activities related to
the production of incandescent, halogen, and LED lamps.
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 LEDVANCE LLC 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, and acquired, the
production of an article like or directly competitive with those
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at LEDVANCE LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LEDVANCE LLC, f/k/a
OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., a subsidiary of LEDVANCE Gmbh, including
on-site leased workers from Manpower Inc.; Wortman Controls,
Inc.; W & W Sons Contracting; ManpowerGroup US Inc.; Penn
Highlands Elk; B & T Cleaning; Experis; and Beimel
Transportation, Saint Mary's, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of incandescent, halogen,
and LED lamps, 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 LEDVANCE LLC, f/k/a OSRAM Sylvania, Inc.,
a subsidiary of LEDVANCE Gmbh, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower Inc.; Wortman Controls, Inc.; W & W
Sons Contracting; ManpowerGroup US Inc.; and Penn
Highlands Elk, Saint Mary's, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 27, 2019 through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on July 27,
2019 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 B & T Cleaning; Experis; and Beimel
Transportation, working on-site at LEDVANCE LLC, f/k/a
OSRAM Sylvania, Inc., a subsidiary of LEDVANCE Gmbh,
Saint Mary's, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 25, 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."
