At the request of a state workforce official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.

New information shows that some workers separated from employment at Personnel Management Group, working on-site at Cooper Tire & Rubber, Findlay, Ohio, had their wages reported through a separate unemployment insurance (UI) tax account under the name Employer Solutions Staffing Group, LLC.

The intent of the Department's certification is to include all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by an increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles with those produced at the subject firm. Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification to properly reflect this matter.
