TEAM INDUSTRIES

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER
ANDREWS, NORTH CAROLINA

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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 15, 2020 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Team Industries, a subsidiary of Team Industries, Inc.,
Andrews, North Carolina (Team Industries). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of gearsets,
aluminum machining, polish heat treat services, precision
machining for marine industrial aerospace applications. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioner, and the major
declining customer(s) of 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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of gearsets, aluminum machining, polish heat
treat services, precision machining for marine industrial
aerospace applications by Team Industries have decreased
absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Team Industries have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at Team
Industries.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Team Industries, a
subsidiary of Team Industries, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Andrews, North Carolina, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of gearsets, aluminum
machining, polish heat treat services, precision machining for
marine industrial aerospace applications 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 Team Industries, a subsidiary of Team
Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Andrews, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 12,
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 November 2020.
