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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 23, 2019, by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers and former workers of United States Steel
Corporation, Great Lakes Works, Ecorse, Michigan (United
States Steel Corporation-Great Lakes Works). Workers of
United States Steel Corporation-Great Lakes Works are engaged
in activities related to the production of flat rolled steel
(hot rolled, cold rolled and hot dipped galvanized steel
primarily used in the automotive industry). Workers at United
States Steel Corporation-Great Lakes Works are not separately
identifiable by article produced. The subject worker group
(United States Steel Corporation-Great Lakes Works) does not
include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, the Department
collected information from the petitioner, the workers' firm,
the workers' firm's major declining customer(s), industry
resources, and public sources.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in United States Steel
Corporation-Great Lakes Works have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or partially
separated.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because United States
Steel Corporation-Great Lakes Works is a Supplier to a firm
that employed a group of workers who received a certification of
eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a), and such supply is related to the actual finished
article or service that was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by United States Steel Corporation-Great Lakes Works
with the afore-referenced firm contributed importantly to
worker separations at United States Steel Corporation-Great
Lakes Works.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United States Steel
Corporation-Great Lakes Works, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of flat rolled steel, meet the worker
group certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of United States Steel Corporation, Great
Lakes Works, Ecorse, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
20, 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."
