INCLUDING LEASED WORKERS OF KELLY SERVICES, CRUM, AND ALC IN
SUPPORT OF THE ABOVE LINES
ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

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 March 15, 2007, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers at
Jabil Circuit, Inc., Cisco Systems, IBM and Q-Logic Assembly Lines,
St. Petersburg, Florida. The workers produce circuit board
assemblies. Workers on the three assembly lines, designated above
by customer, are separately identifiable from others not on these
lines but employed at the St. Petersburg location. The subject
worker group includes leased workers of Kelly Services, CRUM, and
ALC who are employed on, or in support of, the above three assembly
lines.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at the
subject facility are related to a shift in production of circuit
board assemblies to a country (Mexico) that is a party to a free
trade agreement with the United States.
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 investi-
gation, I conclude 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:
"Wworkers of Jabil Circuit, Inc., Cisco Systems, IBM, and Q-
Logic Assembly Lines, including leased workers of Kelly
Services, CRUM, and ALC who are employed on, or in support of,
the above three assembly lines, St. Petersburg, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 13, 2006 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 April, 2007
