SE-GI PRODUCTS INCORPORATED
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM WESTAFF
NORCO, CALIFORNIA

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 November 29, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a state representative on behalf of
workers of SE-GI Products Incorporated, Norco, California. The
workers produce aluminum windows for motor homes, buses and camper
shells.
The investigation revealed SE-GI Products Incorporated leased
workers from Westaff during the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that the preponderance of
declines in employment at the subject facility is related to a
shift in production of aluminum windows to a country (Mexico) that
is 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
investigation, I determine that was a shift in production from the
workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles like or directly
competitive with aluminum windows produced by SE-GI Products
Incorporated, Norco, California, 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 SE-GI Products Incorporated, Norco,
California, including on-site leased workers from Westaff, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 28, 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 13th day of December 2007
