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(e) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) the workers' firm is publicly identified by name by
the International Trade Commission as a member of a
domestic industry in an investigation resulting in--
(A) an affirmative determination of serious injury or
threat thereof under section 202(b)(1);
(B) an affirmative determination of market disruption
or threat thereof under section 421(b)(1); or
(C) an affirmative final determination of material
injury or threat thereof under section
705(b)(1)(A) or 735(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)(1)(A) and
1673d(b)(1)(A));
(2) the petition is filed during the 1-year period
beginning on the date on which--
(A) a summary of the report submitted to the
President by the International Trade Commission
under section 202(f)(1) with respect to the
affirmative determination described in paragraph
(1)(A) is published in the Federal Register under
section 202(f)(3); or
(B) notice of an affirmative determination described
in subparagraph (B) or (C) of paragraph (1) is
published in the Federal Register; and
(3) the workers have become totally or partially
separated from the workers' firm within--
(A) the 1-year period described in paragraph (2); or
(B) notwithstanding section 223(b), the 1-year
period preceding the 1-year period described in
paragraph (2).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 21, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Interlake Mecalux, Inc., a subsidiary of
Mecalux, S.A., including on-site leased workers from Superior
Staffing, ClearStaff Inc., UniStaff Inc., and Accurate
Personnel LLC, Melrose Park, Illinois (TA-W-95,302) and
Interlake Mecalux, Inc., a subsidiary of Mecalux, S.A.,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Express
Employment Professionals, and StaffQuick, Pontiac, Illinois
(TA-W-95,302A) ("Interlake Mecalux"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of metal storage
racking.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
The investigation revealed that on September 13, 2019, the
International Trade Commission ("ITC") found that an industry
in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports
of steel racks from China. A petition has been filed on behalf
of workers of Interlake Mecalux. That firm was publicly
identified by name by the International Trade Commission as a
member of a domestic industry in an investigation resulting in a
category of determination that is listed in Section 222(e) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(e). In addition, that determination
was published in the Federal Register on September 13, 2019,
which is within one year of the date of the petition filed
requesting Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Certification.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Interlake Mecalux,
Inc., a subsidiary of Mecalux, S.A., including on-site leased
workers from Superior Staffing, ClearStaff Inc., UniStaff
Inc., and Accurate Personnel LLC, Melrose Park, Illinois (TA-
W-95,302) and Interlake Mecalux, Inc., a subsidiary of
Mecalux, S.A., including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Express Employment Professionals, and StaffQuick, Pontiac,
Illinois (TA-W-95,302A), engaged in activities related to the
production of metal storage racking meet the requirements of
Section 222(e) of the Act. In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Interlake Mecalux, Inc., a subsidiary of
Mecalux, S.A., including on-site leased workers from
Superior Staffing, ClearStaff Inc., UniStaff Inc., and
Accurate Personnel LLC, Melrose Park, Illinois (TA-W-
95,302) and Interlake Mecalux, Inc., a subsidiary of
Mecalux, S.A., including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Express Employment Professionals, and
StaffQuick, Pontiac, Illinois (TA-W-95,302A), who became
totally or partially separated from that employment on or
after September 13, 2018, through September 13, 2020, 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 November 2019.
