RADISYS CORPORATION
INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
HILLSBORO, OREGON

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, as
amended (19 USC 2273), 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 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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 11, 2005 in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of RadiSys Corporation,
Hillsboro, Oregon. The workers produce embedded circuit boards.
The worker group includes leased workers of Employment Trends.
The investigation revealed that sales, production and
employment at the subject firm declined during the period of
January though March 4, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.
Furthermore, the subject firm began shifting production of
embedded circuit boards to China in 2004. Production at Chinese
facilities will be imported to the United States for sale. Imports
of embedded circuit boards have already begun.
In addition, 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 conclude that there was a shift in production from
the workers' firm or subdivision to China of articles that are like
or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or
subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:


"All workers of RadiSys Corporation, Hillsboro, Oregon
including leased workers of Employment Trends, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 10, 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 7th day of April 2005
