Benco Manufacturing, a Division of Magna International, Including On-Site Leased Workers From Temp Associates and Manpower, Belle Plaine, IA; Amended 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 issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance on November 20, 2009, applicable to workers of Benco Manufacturing, a division of Magna International, including on-site leased workers from Temp Associates, Belle Plaine, Iowa. The notice will be published soon in the Federal Register.

At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are engaged in the production of automotive component parts for tubular assembly.

The company reports that on-site leased workers from Manpower were employed on-site at the Belle Plaine, Iowa location of Benco Manufacturing, a division of Magna International. The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this certification to include workers leased from Manpower working on-site at the Belle Plaine, Iowa location of Benco Manufacturing, a division of Magna International.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,819 is hereby issued as follows:

All workers of Benco Manufacturing, a division of Magna International, including on-site leased workers from Temp Associates and Manpower, Belle Plaine, Iowa, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after July 20, 2008, through November 20, 2011, 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.
