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 October 28, 2009, applicable to workers
of Autosplice, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Select Temporary Services and Payrolling, com. The notice was
published in the Federal Register December 11, 2009 (74 FR
65795).
At the request of a State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in the production of electrical connectors used in
medical, transportation, automotive, consumer goods,
telecommunication and industrial applications.
New information shows that a worker separation has occurred
involving an employee in support of the San Diego, California
location of Autosplice, Inc., working out of Farmingdale, New
York. Ms. Pamela J. Sokol provided sales and marketing
functions supporting the San Diego, California production
facility of the subject firm.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include an employee in support of the San
Diego, California facility working out of Farmingdale, New York.
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 electrical connectors used in for
medical, transportation, automotive, consumer goods,
telecommunication and industrial applications to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,805 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Autosplice, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Select Temporary Services and Payrolling.com,
and including an employee in support of Autosplice, Inc.,
San Diego, California working off site in Farmingdale, New
York (TA-W-71,805A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 23, 2008 through
October 28, 2011, 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 18th day of May 2010.

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 24, 2009 by a company official of Autosplice,
Inc., San Diego, California. The workers produce electrical
connectors used in for medical, transportation, automotive,
consumer goods, telecommunication and industrial applications.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Select
Temporary Services and Payrolling.com.
The investigation revealed that workers of Autosplice, Inc.
who are engaged in employment related to producing electrical
connectors meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
shifted to a foreign country production of an article like or
directly competitive with the article produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of electrical connectors to Mexico by Autosplice,
Inc. contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the San Diego, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Autosplice, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Select Staffing and
Payrolling.com, San Diego, California, who are engaged in
employment related to production of electrical connectors 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 Autosplice, Inc., including on-site leased
workers of Select Temporary Services and Payrolling.com,
San Diego, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 23, 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.”
