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 19 2009 by a Florida State Workforce official on
behalf of workers of Doral Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of
TEVA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Albion, Inc., MISource, Inc. and Adecco, Miami, Florida.
The workers produce generic, solid dosage pharmaceutical
products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Doral
Manufacturing who are engaged in employment related to the
production of generic, solid dosage pharmaceutical products
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or are threatened with separation
from employment.
Criterion II has been satisfied because production of
generic, solid dosage pharmaceutical products is being shifted
to affiliated facilities in India and Ireland.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to India and Ireland contributed importantly to
worker group separations or threat of separations at the
Miami, Florida facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Doral Manufacturing,
Inc., a subsidiary of TEVA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Albion, Inc., MISource, Inc. and
Adecco, Miami, Florida, who are engaged in employment related to
generic, solid dosage pharmaceutical products 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 Doral Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of
TEVA Pharmaceuticals, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Albion, Inc., MISource, Inc. and Adecco,
Miami, Florida, 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
