INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF MANPOWER TEMPORARY SERVICES
MERIDIAN, IDAHO
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on December 10, 2002, applicable to workers
of applicable to all workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc. located in
Meridian, Idaho. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on December 26, 2002 (67 FR 78817).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Information
provided by the State agency shows that workers leased from
Manpower Temporary Services were engaged in the production of
printed circuit boards at Jabil Circuit in Meridian, Idaho.
Based on this information, the Department is amending the
certification to include leased workers of Manpower Temporary
Services engaged in the production of printed circuit boards at
the subject firm.
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.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-42,227 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc., Meridian, Idaho,
and leased workers of Manpower Temporary Services
engaged in the production of printed circuit boards at
Jabil Circuit, Inc., Meridian, Idaho, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 23, 2001, through December 10, 2004,
are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 6th day of March 2003.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974
(19 USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and
Competitiveness Act of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of
Labor herein presents the results of an investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to apply for worker
adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment
assistance each of the group eligibility requirements of
Section 222 of the Act must be met. It is determined in this
case that all of the requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a
petition received on October 7, 2002, filed on behalf of
workers at Jabil Circuit, Inc., Meridian, Idaho. The workers
produce printed circuit boards.
Findings of the investigation revealed that employment
at the Meridian facility declined during the period of the
investigation. The facility is closing in December 2002.
Further findings revealed that the subject firm is
importing printed circuit boards contributing to separations
in the Meridian facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of
articles like or directly competitive with printed circuit
boards produced by Jabil Circuit, Inc., Meridian, Idaho,
contributed importantly to the decline in sales or production
and to the total or partial separation of workers of that
firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc., Meridian, Idaho,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 23, 2001, through two
years from the date of certification are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the
Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 10th day of December 2002.
