Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on April 1, 2010, applicable to workers of
Diebold, Incorporated, North Carton, Ohio. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2010 (75 FR 24750).
The notice was corrected on April 23, 2010 to show the correct
location of the subject firm should read Hebron, Ohio not North
Canton, Ohio which is the headquarters location of the subject
firm.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of banking security equipment.


New findings show that worker separations occurred during
the relevant time period at the North Canton, Ohio location of
Diebold, Incorporated. The North Canton, Ohio location produced
banking security equipment and served as the headquarter offices
for Diebold, Incorporated.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification
to include workers of the North Canton, Ohio location of
Diebold, Incorporated.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in production of banking security equipment to Hungary and
China.



The amended notice applicable to TA-W-70,993 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Diebold, Incorporated, Hebron, Ohio (TA-W-
70,993 and Diebold, Incorporated, North Canton, Ohio (TA-W-
70,993A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 4, 2008, through April 1, 2012,
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 6th day of August 2010.

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 June 5, 2009 by an official from the International
Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine, and
Furniture Workers – Communication Workers of America (IUE-CWA)
on behalf of workers of Diebold Incorporated, Hebron, Ohio.
The workers produce banking security equipment.
The investigation revealed that workers of Diebold
Incorporated who are engaged in employment related to the
production of banking security equipment meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
or supply of a service like or directly competitive with the
article produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of banking security equipment to Hungary and China
by Diebold Incorporated contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Diebold Incorporated.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Diebold Incorporated,
Hebron, Ohio who are engaged in employment related to the
production of banking security equipment, 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 Diebold Incorporated, Hebron, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 4, 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 day of April, 2010
