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 19, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Littelfuse, Inc., Corporate Headquarters, Chicago,
Illinois. The workers supply administrative and support
services including finance, accounting, customer service,
engineering, production planning, and human resources. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Corporate
Resources, LTD, Aerotek, Ernest & Young, and Brooksource.
The investigation revealed that workers of Littelfuse,
Inc., Corporate Headquarters, who are engaged in employment
related to administrative and support services meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like
or directly competitive to the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to Mexico and the Philippines by Littelfuse, Inc., Corporate
Headquarters contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Chicago, Illinois location.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Littelfuse, Inc.,
Corporate Headquarters, including on-site leased workers from
Corporate Resources, LTD, Aerotek, Ernest & Young, and
Brooksource, Chicago, Illinois, who are engaged in employment
related to administrative and support functions 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 Littelfuse, Inc., Corporate Headquarters,
including on-site leased workers from Corporate
Resources, LTD, Aerotek, Ernest & Young, and Brooksource,
Chicago, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 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 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 21st day of September, 2009
