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 June 4, 2009 by a company official on behalf of workers
of General Dynamics Itronix Corporation, C4 Systems, Spokane
Valley, Washington. The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of rugged lap top computers. The
worker group also includes on-site leased workers from Humanix
Staff and Recruiting and Volt Services Group.
The investigation revealed that workers of General Dynamics
Itronix Corporation, C4 Systems, Spokane Valley, Washington who
are engaged in employment related to production of rugged
laptop computers meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least 5 percent of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of rugged laptop computers by General
Dynamics Itronix Corporation, C4 Systems to Taiwan.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of rugged laptop computers by General Dynamics Itronix
Corporation, C4 Systems to Taiwan contributed importantly to
worker group separations at General Dynamics Itronix
Corporation, C4 Systems.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Dynamics
Itronix Corporation, C4 Systems, including on-site leased
workers from Humanix Staff and Recruiting and Volt Services
Group, Spokane Valley, Washington, who are engaged in employment
related to production of rugged laptop computers, 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 General Dynamics Itronix Corporation, C4
Systems, including on-site leased workers from Humanix
Staff and Recruiting and Volt Services Group, Spokane
Valley, Washington, 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 27th day of June, 2009
