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. (Set forth in 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 22, 2009 by a State Workforce Official on behalf of
workers of UGL-Unicco, Northeast, on-site leased workers at
Fairchild Semiconductor, South Portland, Maine (UGL-Unicco).
Workers at the subject firm were engaged in activities related
to the production of semiconductor wafers. Specifically, the
workers provided janitorial and maintenance services in support
of production of semiconductor wafers.
The investigation revealed that workers of UGL-Unicco,
Northeast, on-site leased workers at Fairchild Semiconductor,
South Portland, Maine who were engaged in activities related
to the production of semiconductor wafers meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers of
Fairchild Semiconductor, South Portland, Maine are covered by
certification number TA-W-64,030 issued based on the shift in
production of semiconductor wafers to South Korea, and the
workers of UGL-Unicco were in support of production at
Fairchild Semiconductor, South Portland, Maine.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of semiconductor wafers by Fairchild Semiconductor, South
Portland, Maine to South Korea contributed importantly to UGL-
Unicco worker group separations at Fairchild Semiconductor,
South Portland, Maine.





















Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of UGL-Unicco,
Northeast, working on-site at Fairchild Semiconductor, South
Portland, Maine who are engaged in employment related to the
production of semiconductor wafers 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 UGL-Unicco, Northeast, working on-site at
Fairchild Semiconductor, South Portland, Maine, 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 the 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 September 2009
