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 13, 2009 by an official of the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, District 10, on
behalf of workers of Talaris Inc., formerly known as De La Rue
Cash Systems, Watertown, Wisconsin. The workers produce coin and
note handling equipment. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers of Kelly Services Inc., Manpower, and CFS Virchow
Krause LLC.
The investigation revealed that workers of Talaris,
Watertown, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to
the production of coin and currency equipment, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because more than five percent
of the workers have been separated in the last year.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted to China the production of equipment like of directly
competitive with the currency counter equipment produced by
the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to a foreign country contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Talaris, Watertown, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Talaris Inc.,
formerly unknown as De La Rue Cash Systems, Watertown,
Wisconsin, including on-site leased workers of Kelly Services
Inc., Manpower, and CFS Virchow Krause LLC., who are engaged in
employment related to coin and currency 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 Talaris Inc., formerly unknown as De La Rue
Cash Systems, Watertown, Wisconsin, including on-site
leased workers of Kelly Services Inc., Manpower, and CFS
Virchow Krause LLC., who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 9, 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 17th day of December, 2009
