Employees fired by Solyndra LLC, the solar-panel maker that failed after receiving a $535 million federal loan guarantee, were certified for U.S. aid under a program for workers hurt by overseas competition.
The Labor Department decided to award trade-adjustment assistance on Nov. 18, according to a posting today on the agency’s website. Solyndra ceased operations on Aug. 31 amid cheaper imports from China.
