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 14, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Henkel Corporation,
Henkel Airflow Unit, Chanhassen, Minnesota (Henkel Airflow-
Chanhassen). Workers of Henkel Airflow-Chanhassen are engaged
in activities related to the production of fan trays for active
cooling of electronic applications. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Agile One.
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 Henkel Airflow-Chanhassen
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the fan trays produced
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Henkel Airflow-Chanhassen.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Henkel Airflow-
Chanhassen, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of fan trays, 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 Henkel Corporation, Henkel Airflow Unit,
including on-site leased workers from Agile One,
Chanhassen, Minnesota, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 13, 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 August 2020.
