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 May 22, 2019, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Arrow International, a subsidiary of Teleflex, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek and The Agency,
Asheboro, North Carolina. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of medical device supplies,
and packaging and sterilization processes.
The worker group was certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance under petition numbers TA-W-92,844 and TA-
W-92,844A, which expires on June 21, 2019.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to the worker
group separations at Arrow International, Asheboro, North
Carolina.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Arrow International,
a subsidiary of Teleflex, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and The Agency, Asheboro, North Carolina,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
medical device supplies and packaging and sterilization
processes, 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 Arrow International, a subsidiary of
Teleflex, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and The Agency, Asheboro, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 22, 2019, 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 11th day of June 2019.
