HAMON DELTAK, INC.

A SUBSIDIARY OF HAMON HOLDINGS CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ACCOUNT TEMPS
PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA
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 July 5, 2019, by a State Workforce Agency on behalf of
workers and former workers of Hamon Deltak, Inc., a subsidiary
of Hamon Corporation, a subsidiary of Hamon Holdings
Corporation, Plymouth, Minnesota (Hamon Deltak). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
heat recovery steam generators and waste heat recovery boilers
primarily used for refineries, chemical plants, and associate
industries (generators and boilers). Workers are not
separately identifiable by article produced. The worker group
include on-site leased workers from Account Temps.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition/workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Hamon Deltak 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 the production of a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the generators and
boilers produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Hamon Deltak.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hamon Deltak,
Plymouth, Minnesota, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of generators and boilers, 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:
"Workers of Hamon Deltak, Inc., a subsidiary of Hamon
Corporation, a subsidiary of Hamon Holdings Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Account Temps,
Plymouth, Minnesota, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 3, 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 24th day of July 2019.
