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 18, 2009 by two company officials on behalf of workers
of Century Mold Co., Inc. The workers, including leased workers
from Randstad Staffing and Holland Group Staffing, produce molded
plastic and nylon parts for automotive suppliers. The
petitioners allege that production is being shifted from the
Century Mold Inc., Shelbyville, Tennessee facility to a Century
Mold facility in Mexico.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Shelbyville,
Tennessee facility who are engaged in employment related to the
production of molded plastic and nylon parts meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the worker's firm
has shifted the production of an article that is like or directly
competitive with the article produced by the workers to a foreign
country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of production
of plastic and nylon automotive parts to Mexico by Century Mold
Col., Inc., contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Shelbyville, Tennessee.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Century Mold Co., Inc.,
who are engaged in employment related to plastic and nylon
automotive parts 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 Century Mold Co., Inc., Shelbyville,
Tennessee, including on-site leased workers from Randstad
Staffing and Holland Group Staffing, 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
