DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration TA-W-74,563 ALL AMERICAN SPORTS GROUP CORPORATION INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER STAFFING SERVICES AND KELLY SERVICES SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 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: I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm must have become totally or partially separated or be threatened with total or partial separation. II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either: (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 (i)(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. III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must have contributed importantly to the workers' separation or threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii). The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed on August 27, 2010 by a company official on behalf of workers of All American Sports Group Corporation, San Antonio, Texas (All American Sports Group). The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower Staffing Services and Kelly Services. The workers supply refurbishing services (disassembly, cleaning, refurbishing, and reassembly) for football helmets. The investigation revealed that workers of All American Sports Group, who supply refurbishing services for football helmets, meet the criteria for certification. Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of the workers at All American Sports Group has been totally or partially separated during the relevant period and further separations are scheduled. Criterion II has been met because All American Sports Group has shifted the supply of like or directly competitive services to a foreign country. Criterion III has been met because the shift to Mexico contributed importantly to worker separations at All American Sports Group, San Antonio, Texas. Conclusion After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that workers of All American Sports Group Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Manpower Staffing Services and Kelly Services, San Antonio, Texas, who supply refurbishing services, 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 All American Sports Group Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Manpower Staffing Services and Kelly Services, San Antonio, Texas, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after August 20, 2009, through two years from the date of certification, and all workers in the group threatened with total or partial separation from employment on 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."
