INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM

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 3, 2008, in response
to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Kavlico, Custom Sensors
and Technologies (CST) Division, a subsidiary of Schneider
Electric, Moorpark, California. Workers of the subject firm
produce position and pressure sensors.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Select
Temporary Services and Triad Agency.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at
Kavlico, Custom Sensors and Technologies (CST) Division, a division
of Schneider Electric, Moorpark, California, are related to a shift
in production of position and pressure sensors 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 position and pressure
sensors produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance
with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Kavlico, Custom Sensors and Technologies (CST)
Division, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, including on-
site leased workers from Select Temporary Services and Triad
Agency, Moorpark, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 23, 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."
