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 March 12, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Dispensing Dynamics International, Inc., a
subsidiary of Hunter Industries, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, 1020 Bixby Drive, City of Industry,
California (TA-W-95,808) and Dispensing Dynamics International,
Inc., a subsidiary of Hunter Industries, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, 16425 Gale Avenue, City of
Industry, California (TA-W-95,808A) (hereby referred to as
"Dispensing Dynamics International, Inc.").
The workers of Dispensing Dynamics are engaged in
activities related to the production of home hygiene, paper,
soap products and paper towel dispensers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Dispensing Dynamics
International, Inc. 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 articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Dispensing Dynamics International, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dispensing Dynamics
International, Inc., a subsidiary of Hunter Industries, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, 1020 Bixby
Drive, City of Industry, California (TA-W-95,808) and
Dispensing Dynamics International, Inc., a subsidiary of Hunter
Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, 16425 Gale Avenue, City of Industry, California (TA-
W-95,808A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of home hygiene, paper, soap products and paper
towel dispensers, 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 Dispensing Dynamics International, Inc., a
subsidiary of Hunter Industries, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, 1020 Bixby Drive, City of
Industry, California (TA-W-95,808) and Dispensing Dynamics
International, Inc., a subsidiary of Hunter Industries,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
16425 Gale Avenue, City of Industry, California (TA-W-
95,808A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 11, 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 16th day of June 2020.
