EVERETT, WASHINGTON

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 August 8, 2008, in response to
a petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of
Intermec Technologies Corporation, Everett, Washington. The workers
produce bar code equipment.
The investigation revealed that the subject firm is shifting
production to Singapore and worker separations at Intermec
Technologies Corporation, Everett, Washington will be the result.
In addition, 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 conclude that there was a shift in production from the workers firm
or subdivision to Singapore 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 Intermec Technologies Corporation, including
leased workers of PACE Staffing Network, Everett, Washington who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 30, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 28th day of August 2008
