Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its 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 Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on February 7, 2005, in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of IKKA
Technology Inc. Villa Rica, Georgia including leased workers of
Randstadt Work Solutions and Willstaff Worldwide working at IKKA
Technology Inc. Villa Rica, Georgia. The workers produced plastic
injected molded parts for automotive and other industries.

The investigation revealed that sales and employment decreased
during the relevant period.
The Department conducted a survey of the major customers of
the subject firm regarding their purchases of plastic injected
molded parts in 2003 and 2004. The survey revealed that respondents
increased their purchases of plastic injected molded parts from
foreign firms while decreasing their purchases of plastic injected
molded parts from the subject firm in 2004 compared to 2003.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of its investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or
over and possess skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with plastic injected molded parts
produced at IKKA Technology Inc. Villa Rica, Georgia including
leased workers of Randstadt Work Solutions and Willstaff Worldwide
working at IKKA Technology Inc. Villa Rica, Georgia contributed
importantly to the total or partial separation of workers and to
the decline in sales or production at that firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of IKKA Technology Inc. Villa Rica, Georgia
including leased workers of Randstadt Work Solutions and
Willstaff Worldwide working at IKKA Technology Inc. Villa
Rica, Georgia, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 25, 2004 through two
years from the date of certification 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 in Washington, D. C. this 15th day of March, 2005.
