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 in response to a petition
received on January 14, 2009, and filed by a company official on
behalf of workers at Celestica, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Aerotek and Purchasing Professionals, Arden Hills,
Minnesota. The workers produce printed circuit boards. The
workers are not separately identifiable by product line.
The decline in employment at the subject plant is related to a
shift in production of printed circuit boards to a country (Canada)
that is a 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 Canada 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 Celestica, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Aerotek and Purchasing Professionals, Arden
Hills, Minnesota, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 13, 2008, 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 3rd day of February 2009.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm under
Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm must
have become totally or partially separated or be threatened
with total or partial separation.
II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:
(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers’ firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or supply
of services like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers’ firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign country
by the workers’ firm of articles/services that are like
or directly competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers’ firm.
III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 26, 2009 on behalf of workers of Visteon Corporation,
Visteon Headquarters, including Headquarter employees at the
Plymouth, Michigan site and on-site leased workers from Msx
International and Manpower, Van Buren Township, Michigan. The
workers are engaged in employment related to the manufacturing of
automotive systems. The Visteon Headquarter sites provide support
services including research, engineering, manufacturing support,
and administrative services such as purchasing, material planning
and logistics, legal, human resources, finance, information
technology, and sales to their affiliated production sites.
Workers of the subject firm supported production at Visteon
manufacturing affiliates, including Visteon Systems, LLC, North
Penn Plant, Electrics Products Group, Lansdale, Pennsylvania,
Visteon Systems LLC Bedford, Indiana Plant, Visteon Systems,
Connersville, Indiana plant and Visteon Regional Assembly and
Manufacturing, LLC, Chesapeake, Virginia. Workers at these
facilities were certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance during periods covered by this investigation, based on
shifts of production abroad or imports of products manufactured at
the plants.
Workers of the subject firm who are engaged in employment
related to the manufacturing of automotive systems meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers has been separated.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted the production of articles or imported articles like or
directly competitive with automotive systems to/from a foreign
country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of production
abroad and/or imports of automotive systems at affiliated plants
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Visteon headquarters sites.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Visteon Corporation,
Visteon Headquarters, including Headquarter employees at the
Plymouth, Michigan site and on-site leased workers from Msx
International and Manpower, Van Buren Township, Michigan, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of automotive
systems meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of Visteon Corporation, Visteon Headquarters,
including Headquarter employees at the Plymouth, Michigan site
and on-site leased workers from Msx International and
Manpower, Van Buren Township, Michigan who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 18, 2008,
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II
of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”
