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 worker
petition filed on May 18, 2009 on behalf of workers of Engel
Machinery, Inc., including on-site leased workers from JFC
Staffing Associates and Manpower, York, Pennsylvania. The
workers are engaged in the production of plastic injection
molding machines and robots.
The investigation revealed that workers of Engel Machinery,
Inc., who are engaged in employment related to plastic
injection molding machines and robots meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
portion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated in the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to China and Austria a portion of the production
of articles directly competitive with those supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of plastic
injection molding machines and robots to China and Austria by
Engel Machinery, Inc., contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Engel Machinery, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Engel Machinery,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from JFC Staffing
Services and Manpower, York, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
employment related to plastic injection molding machines and
robots 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 Engel Machinery, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from JFC Staffing Services and Manpower,
York, Pennsylvania, 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 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 30th day of June, 2009
