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 26, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of YUSA Corporation, Washington Court House, Ohio (YUSA
Corporation). The workers produce vulcanized rubber components
for the automobile industry (i.e. bushings, mounts, anti-
vibration mounts, tubes, and hoses).
The worker group also consists of on-site leased workers
from Remedy Intelligent Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of YUSA Corporation
who are engaged in employment related to vulcanized rubber
components meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the firm have been separated
comparing January through April 2009 when compared to the same
period in 2008.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of vulcanized
rubber components to Japan by YUSA Corporation contributed
importantly to worker group separations at YUSA Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of YUSA Corporation,
Washington Court House, Ohio, who are engaged in employment
related to vulcanized rubber components 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 YUSA Corporation, Washington Court House,
Ohio including on-site leased workers from Remedy
Intelligent Staffing, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 22 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 15th day of July, 2009.
