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 June 8, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Piramal Glass USA, Inc., Glass Manufacturing
Division, a subsidiary of Piramal Glass Private Limited, Park
Hills, Missouri (Piramal Glass - Park Hills). The workers of
Piramal Glass - Park Hills are engaged in activities related to
the production of specialty glass containers. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Manpower.
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 at Piramal Glass - Park
Hills 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 acquired from a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the specialty glass
containers produced by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Piramal Glass -
Park Hills.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Piramal Glass - Park
Hills, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of specialty glass containers, 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 Piramal Glass USA, Inc., Glass
Manufacturing Division, a subsidiary of Piramal Glass
Private Limited, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Park Hills, Missouri, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 5,
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 1st day of July 2020.
