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 July 30, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Columbus McKinnon Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Office Team, Lisbon, Ohio (TA-W-96,112)
and Columbus McKinnon Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Luttrell Staffing Group, Damascus, Virginia (TA-
W-96,112A) (hereafter collectively referred to as "Columbus
McKinnon"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of lifting and rigging equipment.
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 in Columbus McKinnon 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 a portion of the
production of an article like or directly competitive with the
article produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Columbus McKinnon.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Columbus McKinnon,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
lifting and rigging equipment, 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 Columbus McKinnon Corporation, including
on-site leased workers from Office Team, Lisbon, Ohio (TA-
W-96,112) and Columbus McKinnon Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Luttrell Staffing Group,
Damascus, Virginia (TA-W-96,112A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 29,
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 7th day of December 2020.
