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), 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 April 19, 2006 in response to
a petition filed by a state agency representative on behalf of
workers of Securitas Security Service, working at Inteir Automotive
Seating of America, Inc., Romech Division, Red Oak, Iowa. Workers
at the subject firm provide security service to Inteir's facility
in Red Oak, Iowa.
The investigation revealed that workers of Securitas Security
Service were leased to Inteir Automotive Seating of America, Inc.,
Romech Division, since April 2001. Workers were contracted to
provide security services at the automotive seating manufacturing
facility in Red Oak, Iowa. Workers of Inteir Automotive Seating of
America, Inc., Romech Division, Red Oak, Iowa, were certified
eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under petition
number TA-W-58,806, which expires on February 23, 2008.
The investigation revealed that a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm are threatened to become
separated from employment as a result of the Inteir Automotive
Seating of America, Inc., Romech Division, Red Oak, Iowa shift in
production to Mexico and Canada.
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 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 has been a shift in
production from the workers firm or subdivision to Canada and
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 Securitas Security Service, working at Inteir
Automotive Seating of America, Inc., Romech Division, Red Oak,
Iowa, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 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 25th day of May 2006.
