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 June 19, 2019, by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of BrassCraft Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary of
Masco Manufacturing Company, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Accu Staffing, and Integrity, Swedesboro, New
Jersey. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of drain cleaning and plumbing tools.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to the worker group separations at
BrassCraft Manufacturing Co., Swedesboro, New Jersey.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BrassCraft
Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary of Masco Manufacturing
Company, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Accu
Staffing, and Integrity, Swedesboro, New Jersey, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of drain
cleaning and plumbing tools, 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 BrassCraft Manufacturing Co., a subsidiary
of Masco Manufacturing Company, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Accu Staffing, and Integrity,
Swedesboro, New Jersey, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 18, 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 28th day of July 2019.
