BODINE ELECTRIC COMPANY
INCLUDING ONSITE LEASED WORKERS OF SEDONA STAFFING
PEOSTA, IOWA

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)(A) of Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on March 15, 2007, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Bodine Electric Company, Peosta, Iowa. The workers
are engaged in the production of AC and DC electrical motors and
component parts of electric motors. The workers are not
separately identifiable.
The investigation determined that production and employment
at the subject firm declined from January through February 2007
when compared to the corresponding 2006 period.
The investigation also revealed that company imports of AC
stator windings increased during the relevant period.
Bodine Electric Company, Peosta, Iowa also leased workers
from Sedona Staffing.
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 increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with AC stator windings produced by
Bodine Electric Company, Peosta, Iowa, 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 Bodine Electric Company, Peosta, Iowa,
including on-site leased workers from Sedona Staffing, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 14, 2006, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 4th day of April, 2007.
