INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM BERNARD & BERNARD OF

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)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 12, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official at Allstar Pro
LLC, Division of Linear LLC, Downingtown, Pennsylvania. The
workers at the subject firm produced residential garage door
operators. The workers are not separately identifiable by article
produced.

The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Bernard
& Bernard of Exton, and Labor Ready Northeast Inc.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is currently
shifting plant production of residential garage door operators to
China. The investigation also revealed that there is likely to be
an increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles in
the near future. The shift in plant production will impact all
workers at the subject plant.
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 China of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Allstar Pro LLC, Division of Linear LLC,
including all on-site leased workers from Bernard & Bernard of
Exton, and Labor Ready Northeast Inc., Downingtown,
Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 10, 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 31st day of October, 2007.
