THE INTEC GROUP, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER
MOROCCO, INDIANA

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 July 31, 2007, in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
The Intec Group, Inc., Morocco, Indiana. Workers of the subject
firm produce plastic insert molding; they are not separately
identifiable by articles produced.
The subject firm leased on-site workers from Manpower.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at The
Intec Group, Inc., Morocco, Indiana is related to a shift in
production of plastic insert molding to countries (Mexico and
Singapore) that are a party to a free trade agreement with the
United States.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of 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 there was a shift in production
from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico and Singapore of
articles that are like or directly competitive with the plastic
insert molding produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of The Intec Group, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Morocco, Indiana who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 27, 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 14th day of August 2007
