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 August 10, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Molnlycke, Indianapolis, Indiana (Molnlycke).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of medical devices/ulcer prevention products; static
air products (seat cushions, mattresses, and static air heel
boots), and turning and positioning products (tortoise, heel
boots, positioners, and covers). The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from ResourceMFG, Adecco
Employment Services, and Aerotek, Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Molnlycke.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Molnlycke, including
on-site leased workers from ResourceMFG, Adecco Employment
Services, and Aerotek, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of medical
devices/ulcer prevention products; static air products (seat
cushions, mattresses, and static air heel boots), and turning
and positioning products (tortoise, heel boots, positioners,
and covers) 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 Molnlycke, including on-site leased
workers from ResourceMFG, Adecco Employment Services, and
Aerotek, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August
10, 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 30th day of August 2020.
