E9-22747. Coherent-DEOS, LLC Including Workers Whose UI Wages Are Reported to Albany Services, Inc. Including On-Site Leased Workers From ATR International, Inc., Coworx PPS, LLC, Stewart Staffing Solutions, 888 Consulting Group, and Roth Staffing ...

In accordance with section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), and section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 23, 2009, applicable to workers of Coherent-DEOS, LLC, Bloomfield, Connecticut. The notice was published in the Federal Register on February 10, 2009 (74 FR 6653).

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 air-cooled carbon dioxide lasers.

New information shows that Albany Services, Inc. was contracted to provide payroll function services to independent contract employees working on-site at the Bloomfield, Connecticut location of the subject firm.

Information also shows that workers leased from ATR International, Inc., Coworx PPS, LLC, Stewart Staffing Solutions, 888 Consulting Group and Roth Staffing Company were employed on-site at the Bloomfield, Connecticut location of Coherent-DEOS, LLC. 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 whose UI wages are reported to Albany Services, Inc. and to include workers leased from ATR International, Inc., Coworx PPS, LLC, Stewart Staffing Solutions, 888 Consulting Group and Roth Staffing Company working on-site at the Bloomfield, Connecticut location of Coherent-DEOS, LLC.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,783 is hereby issued as follows:

“All workers of Coherent-DEOS, LLC, including workers whose UI wages are reported to Albany Services, Inc., and including on-site leased workers from ATR International, Inc., Coworx PPS, LLC, Stewart Staffing Solutions, 888 Consulting Group, and Roth Staffing Company, Bloomfield, Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after December 26, 2007, through January 23, 2011, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of August 2009.

Richard Church,

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.
