TODCO
A DIVISION OF OVERHEAD DOOR CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM PLACEMENT PROS
FRESNO, 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, 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 May 15, 2008, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of TODCO, a division of
Overhead Door Corporation, Fresno, California. Workers of the
subject firm produce overhead doors for trucks and trailers. The
workers are not separately identifiable.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Placement Pros.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at
TODCO, a division of Overhead Door Corporation, Fresno, California,
are related to a shift in production of overhead doors for trucks
and trailers to a country (Mexico) that is 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 of articles that
are like or directly competitive with the overhead doors for trucks
and trailers produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of TODCO, a division of Overhead Door
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Placement
Pros, Fresno, California who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 14, 2007 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."
