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 October 15, 2019 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers and former workers of Haldex Brake Products
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing,
Kelly Services, TMS Inc., and Pro Electric LC, Kansas City,
Missouri (Haldex). Haldex is engaged in activities related to the
production of automatic brake adjusters and repair parts kits.
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 Haldex 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 articles like
or directly competitive with the automatic brake adjusters and
repair parts kits produced by the subject workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Haldex.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Haldex 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., I make the following determination:
"All workers of Haldex Brake Products Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Onin Staffing, Kelly Services,
TMS Inc., and Pro Electric LC, Kansas City, Missouri, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 11, 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 16th day of September 2020.
