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 8, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of UFE, Inc., Osceola, Wisconsin (TA-W-71,593), UFE,
Inc., Stillwater, Minnesota (TA-W-71,593A), UFE, Inc., 117
Main Street, Dresser, Wisconsin (TA-W-71,593B), and 380 First
Street West, Dresser, Wisconsin (TA-W-71,593C). The workers
are engaged in the production of injection molding components
and in support services related to the production. Workers are
not separately identifiable by product line and production at
the various facilities is integrated.
The investigation revealed that workers of UFE, Inc.,
Osceola, Wisconsin, UFE, Inc., Stillwater, Minnesota, UFE,
Inc., 117 Main Street, Dresser, Wisconsin, and 380 First
Street West, Dresser, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of injection molding components,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at each UFE, Inc. facility (Osceola,
Wisconsin; Stillwater, Minnesota; 117 Main Street, Dresser,
Wisconsin, and 380 First Street West, Dresser, Wisconsin) have
become totally or partially separated in the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to Mexico the production an article like or directly
competitive with the article produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of injection
molding components to Mexico by UFE, Inc. contributed
importantly to workers' separation, or threat of separation,
at UFE, Inc., Osceola, Wisconsin, UFE, Inc., Stillwater,
Minnesota, UFE, Inc., 117 Main Street, Dresser, Wisconsin, and
380 First Street West, Dresser, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of UFE, Inc., Osceola,
Wisconsin, UFE, Inc., Stillwater, Minnesota, UFE, Inc., 117
Main Street, Dresser, Wisconsin, and 380 First Street West,
Dresser, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to
injection molding components 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 UFE, Inc., Osceola, Wisconsin (TA-W-
71,593), UFE, Inc., Stillwater, Minnesota (TA-W-71,593A),
UFE, Inc., 117 Main Street, Dresser, Wisconsin (TA-W-
71,593B), and 380 First Street West, Dresser, Wisconsin
(TA-W-71,593C), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 7, 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 29th day of January, 2010
