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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Downstream Producer" as "a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for
another firm for articles or services with respect to which a
group of workers in such other firm has been certified under
subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act]" and defines the term
"value-added production processes or services" to "include final
assembly, finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or
transportation services."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 4, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Logistics Insight Corp., Detroit, Michigan
("Logistics Insight Corp."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of transportation and
logistical services. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Malace HR, Sentech Services, and Driver
Logistics.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because workers of
Logistics Insight Corp. is a Downstream Producer to a firm (or
subdivision, whichever is applicable) that employed a group of
workers who received a certification of eligibility under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply
is related to the actual finished article or service that was
the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Logistics Insight, Corp. with the aforementioned
firm contributed importantly to worker separations at
Logistics Insight Corp.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Logistics Insight
Corp., including on-site leased workers from Malace HR,
Sentech Services, and Driver Logistics, Detroit, Michigan, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of
transportation and logistical services meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Logistics Insight Corp., including on-site
leased workers from Malace HR, Sentech Services, and
Driver Logistics, Detroit, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 3,
2019, 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 30th day of April 2020.
