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 29, 2020 by a company official on behalf of workers
and former workers of Dal-Tile Corporation, a subsidiary of
Mohawk Industries, Lewisport, Kentucky (Dal-Tile, Lewisport).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of quarry tile. The subject worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Peoplemark, LLC, Express Employment
Services, and O&C Services.
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 Dal-Tile, Lewisport 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 quarry tile produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Dal-Tile, Lewisport.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dal-Tile, Lewisport,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of quarry
tile, 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 Dal-Tile Corporation, a subsidiary of Mohawk
Industries, including on-site leased workers from
Peoplemark, LLC, Express Employment Services, and O&C
Services, Lewisport, Kentucky, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 26, 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 4th day of September 2020.
