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 22, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Fleetwood Travel Trailers of Ohio, Edgerton, Ohio. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of travel
trailers.
The investigation revealed that workers of Fleetwood Travel
Trailers of Ohio who are engaged in activities related to the
production of travel trailers meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant percentage
of the workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been met because the firm has shifted
production abroad of articles like or directly competitive
with the articles manufactured at the Edgerton, Ohio facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of travel trailers to Mexico by Fleetwood Travel
Trailers of Ohio contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Edgerton, Ohio location.






Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Fleetwood Travel
Trailers of Ohio, Edgerton, Ohio who are engaged in activities
related to the production of travel trailers 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 Fleetwood Travel Trailers of Ohio,
Edgerton, Ohio who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 29, 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 November, 2009
