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 18, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Superior Steel Fabrication, including on-
site leased workers from Staffing Partners, Elwood Staffing,
Northwest Industrial Staffing, Personnel Source, All Star
Labor & Staffing, Selectemp Employment Services, and BBSI,
Eugene, Oregon ("Superior Steel Fabrication"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
custom component parts, fabricated metals, and sheet metal.
It supplies manufacturers in various industries, such as
medical, gaming, semiconductor, and aerospace.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Superior Steel Fabrication.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Superior Steel
Fabrication, including on-site leased workers from Staffing
Partners, Elwood Staffing, Northwest Industrial Staffing,
Personnel Source, All Star Labor & Staffing, Selectemp
Employment Services, and BBSI, Eugene, Oregon, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of custom component
parts, fabricated metals, and sheet metal, 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 Superior Steel Fabrication, including on-
site leased workers from Staffing Partners, Elwood
Staffing, Northwest Industrial Staffing, Personnel
Source, All Star Labor & Staffing, Selectemp Employment
Services, and BBSI, Eugene, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
15, 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 18th day of December 2019.
