INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM KELLY SERVICES AND
MANPOWER
ORFORDVILLE, WISCONSIN

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 16, 2008 in response
to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers
of Chromalox, Inc., Orfordville, Wisconsin. The workers produce
electric heating elements.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services and Manpower.
The investigation revealed a significant portion of workers
at the Orfordville facility are threatened with separation.
The subject firm is shifting a significant portion of
electric heating elements production at Orfordville to Mexico, a
country that is party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
In addition, 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.
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 those produced by the
subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Chromalox, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services and Manpower, Orfordville,
Wisconsin, 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."
