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 27, 2010, applicable to workers
of Sony Electronics, Inc., SEL Headquarters, including on-site
leased workers of SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and Payrolling.com,
San Diego, California (TA-W-71,501); Sony Electronics, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and
PayRolling.com, San Jose, California (TA-W-71,501A); Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
WillStaff, Danco Industrial Contractors, Advantage, Cyclone
Automation, and Rjesus Fabrication, Dothan, Alabama (TA-W-
71,501B); and Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased
workers of SelectRemedy, Itasca, Illinois (TA-W-71,501C).
The workers are engaged in activities related to production
of electronics and various support operations, including
marketing, professional, corporate and customer support,
import/export compliance, procurement, and warranty services.

The notice was published in the Federal Register on July 1,
2010 (75 FR 38143-38144). The notice as amended on August 13,
2011 to include other locations. The amended notice was
published in the Federal Register on November 12, 2010 (75 FR
69471-69472)
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The company
reports that workers leased from SelectRemedy were employed on-
site at the Park Ridge, New Jersey location of Sony Electronics,
Inc. The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of Sony Electronics, Inc. to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from SelectRemedy
working on-site at the Park Ridge, New Jersey location of Sony
Electronics.
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 electronics and various support
operations, including marketing, professional, corporate and
customer support, import/export compliance, procurement, and
warranty services, to Mexico, China, India, and Japan.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,501 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Sony Electronics, Inc., SEL Headquarters,
including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy,
StaffMark, and Payrolling.com, San Diego, California (TA-

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 July 1, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sony Electronics, Inc., SEL Headquarters, including
on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and
Payrolling.com, San Diego, California (TA-W-71,501); Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and Payrolling.com, San Jose,
California (TA-W-71,501A); Sony Electronics, Inc., including
on-site leased workers of WillStaff, Danco Industrial
Contractors, Advantage, Cyclone Automation, and RJESUS
Fabrication, Dothan, Alabama (TA-W-71,501B); Sony Electronics,
Inc., including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy,
Itasca, Illinois (TA-W-71,501C). The workers design, research,
and develop televisions and computers, and provide tape drive
repair services (TA-W-71,501); design, research, develop, and
service broadcast and professional equipment and software (TA-
W-71,501A); manufacture magnetic tape for data storage,
adhesive for disk, and video recording and photo printing film
(TA-W-71,501B); and design software for professional
broadcasting equipment and provide sales and support for this
software (TA-W-71,501C).
The investigation revealed that workers of Sony
Electronics, Inc. who are engaged in employment related to
electronics design, research, development, and related
services 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 articles
and supply of services like or directly competitive with the
articles and services produced and supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
electronics design, research, development, and related
services to Japan and Mexico by Sony Electronics, Inc.
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Sony
Electronics, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sony Electronics,
Inc., SEL Headquarters, including on-site leased workers of
SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and Payrolling.com, San Diego,
California (TA-W-71,501); Sony Electronics, Inc., including
on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and
Payrolling.com, San Jose, California (TA-W-71,501A); Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
WillStaff, Danco Industrial Contractors, Advantage, Cyclone
Automation, and RJESUS Fabrication, Dothan, Alabama (TA-W-
71,501B); and Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased
workers of SelectRemedy, Itasca, Illinois (TA-W-71,501C), who
are engaged in employment related to electronics design,
research, development and services, 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 Sony Electronics, Inc., SEL Headquarters,
including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy,
StaffMark, and Payrolling.com, San Diego, California (TA-
W-71,501); Sony Electronics, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of SelectRemedy, StaffMark, and
Payrolling.com, San Jose, California (TA-W-71,501A); Sony
Electronics, Inc., including on-site leased workers of
WillStaff, Danco Industrial Contractors, Advantage,
Cyclone Automation, and RJESUS Fabrication, Dothan,
Alabama (TA-W-71,501B); and Sony Electronics, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of SelectRemedy, Itasca,
Illinois (TA-W-71,501C), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 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.”
