GLEN GERY CORPORATION

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM LABOR FINDERS
MANASSAS, VIRGINIA

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 30, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers and former workers of Glen Gery Corporation, a
subsidiary of Brickworks NA, Manassas, Virginia (Glen Gery).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of building brick and thin brick for building
construction (bricks). The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Labor Finders.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Glen Gery 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 bricks produced by
the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Glen Gery. A firm includes a successor-in-
interest firm, a parent company and affiliated firms
controlled or substantially beneficially owned by
substantially the same entity. 29 CFR 90.2
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Glen Gery, Manassas,
Virginia, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of bricks, 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 Glen Gery Corporation, a subsidiary of
Brickworks NA, including on-site leased workers from
Labor Finders, Manassas, Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 30,
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 8th day of October 2019.
