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), as amended, 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 on December 21, 2006 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Celestica, Fulfillment Services Division, Charlotte,
North Carolina. The worker group includes onsite leased workers of
PeopleLink Staffing Solutions. The workers produce computer
devices including embedded servers and telecommunications
equipment. The workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that employment, sales and
production at the subject facility have all declined in the
relevant period.
The Department of Labor surveyed the subject firm's primary
customer regarding purchases of computer devices in 2004, 2005 and
2006. The survey revealed increasing customer imports during the
relevant period.
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.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with computer devices produced at
Celestica, Fulfillment Services Division, Charlotte, North
Carolina, contributed importantly to the total or partial
separation of workers and to the decline in sales or production at
that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the
Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Celestica, Fulfillment Services Division,
Charlotte, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 19, 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 16th day of January 2007
