HELLA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
INCLUDING WORKERS OF HELLA CORPORATE CENTER, USA
FORMERLY KNOWN AS HELLA NORTH AMERICA
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM WESTAFF
FLORA, ILLINOIS

Amended 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), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on January 9, 2009,
applicable to workers of Hella Electronics Corporation, Flora,
Illinois, including on-site leased workers from Westaff. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on February 2, 2009
(74 FR 5870).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce sensors and relays such as accelerator pedal sensors,
washer pumps and various other electronics for automobiles.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm adversely affected by the shift
in production of accelerator pedal sensors, washer pumped and
various other electronics for automobiles to Mexico.
New information shows that the worker group included workers
of Hella Corporate Center, USA, formerly known as Hella North
America. The Department has determined that these workers were
not separately identifiable from the workers of Hella Electronics
Corporation.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers of Hella Corporate Center, USA,
formerly known as Hella North America working at the Flora,
Illinois location of the subject firm.















The amended notice applicable to TA-W-64,221 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Hella Electronics Corporation,
including workers of Hella Corporate Center, USA,
formerly known as Hella North America, including on-
site leased workers from Westaff, Flora, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 13, 2007, through January 9, 2011,
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.”

HELLA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM WESTAFF
FLORA, ILLINOIS

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 October 15, 2008 in
response to a petition filed on behalf of workers of Hella
Electronics Corporation, Flora, Illinois. The workers produce
sensors and relays such as accelerator pedal sensors, washer pumps
and various other electronics for automobiles. The workers are not
separately identifiable by product.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Westaff.
Employment declined at the subject firm during the relevant
period
The investigation also revealed that the subject firm has shifted
production of accelerator pedal sensors and washer pumps to a
country (Mexico) party to a free trade agreement with the United
States.
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.
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 those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of Hella Electronics Corporation, Flora,
Illinois, including on-site leased workers from Westaff, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 13, 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.
