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 at the
Government and Public Safety Division of Motorola Inc,
Schaumburg, Illinois, 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 21, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of National Semiconductor Corporation, Arlington
Manufacturing Site, Arlington, Texas. The workers are engaged
in the production of integrated circuits. Workers are not
separately identifiable by product line. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers of GCA, CMPA, Custom Foods,
Allied Barton Security and ASIL.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
who are engaged in employment related to integrated circuit
production meet the following criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number and
portion of workers were separated during the period under
investigation.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm is
shifting production of integrated circuits to an affiliated
facility located in Greenock, Scotland.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production by the subject firm contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the subject facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of National
Semiconductor Corporation, Arlington Manufacturing Site,
including on-site leased workers of GCA, CMPA, Custom Foods,
Allied Barton Security and ASIL, Arlington, Texas who are
engaged in employment related to the production of integrated
circuits 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 National Semiconductor Corporation,
Arlington Manufacturing Site, including on-site leased
workers of GCA, CMPA, Custom Foods, Allied Barton Security
and ASIL, Arlington, Texas 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 23rd day of September 2009.
