SOLECTRON CORPORATION
USA DIVISION
INCLUDING LEASED ON SITE PRODUCTION WORKERS OF ADECCO
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA

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 September 12, 2005 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Solectron Corporation, USA Division, West Palm Beach,
Florida. The workers produce hybrid electronic modules.
The subject firm leased some on-site production workers of
Adecco.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment and
sales at the subject facility are related to a shift in production
of hybrid electronic modules to countries (Singapore, Mexico,
Canada) that are a parties to free trade agreements with the United
States.
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 to positions
with similar pay and benefits. Furthermore, competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Singapore 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 Solectron Corporation, USA Division, including
leased on-site production workers of Adecco, West Palm Beach,
Florida who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 2, 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 19th day of September, 2005
