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 "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 23, 2020 by the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW), District 751, on
behalf of workers and former workers of Cadence Aerospace,
Giddens Industries Division, including on-site leased workers
from Technipower, JSG Agency, Terra Staffing, SRI Staffing,
and Account Temps, Everett, Washington (TA-W-96,078) and
Precision Machine Works, Inc., a Subdivision of Cadence
Aerospace, including on-site leased workers from Archbright,
Insight Global, and Express Employment Professionals, Tacoma,
Washington (TA-W-96,078A)(hereafter collectively referred to
as "Cadence Aerospace-Washington"). Workers of Cadence
Aerospace-Washington are engaged in activities related to the
production of aircraft parts and structural components for the
aerospace industry.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Cadence Aerospace-
Washington have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(b)(2) has been met because Cadence Aerospace-
Washington is a Supplier 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
is related to the finished article that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the component
parts produced for the afore-referenced firm accounted for at
least 20 percent of Cadence Aerospace-Washington production or
sales.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cadence Aerospace-
Washington, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of aircraft parts and structural components, 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 Cadence Aerospace, Giddens Industries
Division, including on-site leased workers from
Technipower, JSG Agency, Terra Staffing, SRI Staffing,
and Account Temps, Everett, Washington (TA-W-96,078), and
Precision Machine Works, Inc., a Subdivision of Cadence
Aerospace, including on-site leased workers from
Archbright, Insight Global, and Express Employment
Professionals, Tacoma, Washington (TA-W-96,078A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 14, 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 27th day of November 2020.
