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 November 7, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of LEONI Wiring Systems, Inc., Tucson,
Arizona (LEONI-Tucson). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of wiring harnesses for
vehicles. Workers at LEONI-Tucson are engaged in the supply of
support services, such as sales, maintenance, information
technology, and finance. The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Accountemps, Robert Half, Finkenthal,
and UTG.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in LEONI-Tucson 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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with those supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at LEONI-Tucson.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LEONI-Tucson, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of support services,
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 LEONI Wiring Systems, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Accountemps, Robert Half,
Finkenthal, and UTG, Tucson, Arizona, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 6,
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 5th day of February 2020.
