STREATER LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF MARMON HOLDINGS
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM EXPRESS SERVICES, INC.
ALBERT LEA, MINNESOTA
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 September 1, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Streater LLC, a subsidiary of
Marmon Holdings, including on-site leased workers from Express
Services, Inc., Albert Lea, Minnesota (Streater). Streater is
engaged in activities related to the production of store fixtures.
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 Streater 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 fixtures produced by
the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Streater.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Streater, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of fixtures, 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 Streater LLC, a subsidiary of Marmon
Holdings, including on-site leased workers from Express
Services, Inc., Albert Lea, Minnesota, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 31,
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.
