SOLECTRON USA, INC.
FORMERLY KNOWN AS SHINEI USA
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AEROTEK
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 September 21, 2005, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers at Solectron USA, Inc., formerly known as Shinei USA,
Hillsboro, Oregon. Workers at the subject firm manufacture
sheetmetal enclosures.
The subject firm leased some workers from Aerotek.
The investigation revealed a significant number or proportion
of workers at the subject firm are threatened to become separated
from employment.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that some of the
manufacturing of sheetmetal enclosures at the subject firm has
shifted from Hillsboro, Oregon to China and a country (Mexico) that
is a party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
Workers of the subject firm were certified eligible to apply
for trade adjustment assistance under petition number TA-W-50,669,
which expired on June 17, 2005.
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 facilities are age 50
or over and do not possess skills that are easily transferable.
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 Mexico 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 USA, Inc., formerly known as Shinei
USA, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Hillsboro,
Oregon who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 18, 2005 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 October 2005.
