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 20, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Datalogic Mobile, Inc , Eugene, Oregon. The workers produce
computer peripherals including handheld and mobile
computerized scanning devices. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers of Hire Calling, Kelly Services, and Express
Personnel Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Datalogic who
are engaged in employment related to production of mobile and
handheld computerized scanning devices meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Italy by Datalogic contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Eugene, Oregon facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Datalogic Mobile,
Inc., including on-site leased workers of Hire Calling, Kelly
Services, and Express Personnel Services, Eugene, Oregon, who
are engaged in employment related to production of mobile and
handheld computerized scanning devices 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 Datalogic Mobile, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Hire Calling, Kelly Services, and Express
Personnel Services, Eugene, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 19,
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 31st day of August, 2009.
