DIEBOLD LEXINGTON
A SUBSIDIARY OF DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM TEMPORARY RESOURCES
LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA

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 August 27, 2008 in response
to worker petition on behalf of workers at Diebold, Lexington, a
subsidiary of Diebold, Incorporated, Lexington, North Carolina.
Workers at the subject firm are engaged in activities related to
the production of Automated Teller Machines.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Temporary Resources.

The investigation revealed that employment declined at the
subject firm from 2006 to 2007 and January through July 2008 over
the corresponding 2007 period.
The preponderance in the declines in employment at the subject
firm is related to a shift in plant production of automated teller
machines to China and Hungary. The firm has increased imports of
automated teller machines.
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 conclude that there was a shift in production from
a firm or subdivision to China and Hungary of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, 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:
"Diebold, Lexington, a subsidiary of Diebold, Incorporated,
Lexington, North Carolina, including on-site leased workers
from Temporary Resources, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 25, 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 22nd day of October 2008
