CELESTICA
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ADECCO
WESTMINSTER, COLORADO

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 September 27, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Celestica Corporation, Westminster, Colorado. The
workers are engaged in warehousing and distribution operations.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Adecco.
Workers of the subject facility in Westminster were
certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance
under petition TA-W-51,552 which expired on May 28, 2005.
This investigation revealed a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm are threatened to
become separated from employment.
A substantial portion of the work at Westminster supported
an affiliated location, Celestica Corporation, Fort Collins,
Colorado (TA-W-56,906), which was certified eligible to apply
for trade adjustment assistance. That certification was based on
a shift of production to countries (Mexico, Canada, and Israel)
with free trade agreements with the United States.
In addition, 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 separations at the subject
facility are related to a shift in production from the workers
firm or subdivision to Mexico, Canada, and Israel 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 Celestica Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Westminster, Colorado who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 25, 2005 through two years from the date of
certification are eligible to apply for adjustment assis-
tance 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."
