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 August 13, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Consolidated Metco, Inc., Bryson City Plant, a
subsidiary of Amsted Industries Incorporated, including on-
site leased workers from Adecco Staffing, Bryson City, North
Carolina. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of customized plastic injection molded
components for the commercial vehicle market.
The worker group, with the exception of Adecco Staffing,
was previously certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance under petition number TA-W-92,851, which expired on
June 22, 2019.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner/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 Consolidated Metco, Inc.'s Bryson City
Plant.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Consolidated Metco,
Inc., Bryson City Plant, a subsidiary of Amsted Industries
Incorporated, including on-site leased workers from Adecco
Staffing, Bryson City, North Carolina, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of customized plastic
injection molded components for the commercial vehicle market,
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 Consolidated Metco, Inc., Bryson City
Plant, a subsidiary of Amsted Industries Incorporated,
Bryson City, North Carolina (TA-W-95,063), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 23, 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;
AND,
All workers of Adecco Staffing, working on-site at
Consolidated Metco, Inc., Bryson City Plant, a subsidiary
of Amsted Industries Incorporated, Bryson City, North
Carolina (TA-W-95,063A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 12, 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 25th day of September 2019.
