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 25, 2009, on behalf of workers of Yazaki North
America, Inc., Canton, Michigan. The workers provide
administration, management, accounting, human resources,
engineering, design, and prototype simulation associated with
the supply of power and data network solutions. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
Universal Staffing, Inc., Omnisource Integrated Supply, LLC,
QPSI (OHL), Solrac, ACRO, Aerotek, Bartech, Technology
Resource Group, D. Diversified Services, Accountemps, Nesco,
Office Team, AG Manufacturing, and JFC Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Yazaki North
America, Inc., Canton, Michigan meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because employment has declined
by at least five percent during the period under
investigation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to foreign countries the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied at the Canton,
Michigan facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Canton, Michigan facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Yazaki North America,
Inc., Canton, Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to
administration, management, accounting, human resources,
engineering, design, and prototype simulation 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 Yazaki North America, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Kelly Services, Universal
Staffing, Inc., Omnisource Integrated Supply, LLC, QPSI
(OHL), Solrac, ACRO, Aerotek, Bartech, Technology
Resource Group, D. Diversified Services, Accountemps,
Nesco, Office Team, AG Manufacturing, and JFC Staffing,
Canton, Michigan 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 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 4th day of May, 2010
