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 company official on behalf of
workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc., Electronics Materials Services
Division, Billerica, Massachusetts (Jabil). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of circuit
boards and electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies. The
workers are not separately identifiable by article produced.
The worker group also includes on-site leased workers from
Nextsource Services, Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc., and
Production Line Support.
The investigation revealed that workers of Jabil who are
engaged in activities related to the production of circuit
boards and electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers at Jabil have become totally or partially separated
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
in production to foreign countries of articles like or directly
competitive with circuit boards and/or electronic and electro-
mechanical assemblies produced by Jabil.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of circuit boards and/or electronic and electro-mechanical
assemblies to Mexico and Malaysia contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Jabil.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc.,
Electronics Materials Services Division, including on-site
leased workers from Nextsource Services, Apollo Professional
Solutions, Inc., and Production Line Support, Billerica,
Massachusetts, who are engaged in employment related to
production of circuit boards and/or electronic and electro-
mechanical assemblies, 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 Jabil Circuit, Inc., Electronics Materials
Services Division, including on-site leased workers from
Nextsource Services, Apollo Professional Solutions, Inc.,
and Production Line Support, Billerica, Massachusetts, 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 9th day of October, 2009.
