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 August 10, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Pioneer Automotive Technologies, including on-site leased
workers of Select Staffing and CBS Personnel, Springboro,
Ohio. The workers produce multi-function radios and audio
amplifiers for assembled light vehicles.
The investigation revealed that workers of Pioneer
Automotive Technologies, Inc., who are engaged in employment
related to the production of multi-function radios and audio
amplifiers, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have been separated or are threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the 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 multi-function radios and audio amplifiers to
China by Pioneer Automotive Technologies, Inc. contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Pioneer Automotive
Technologies, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Pioneer Automotive
Technologies, Inc., including on-site leased workers of Select
Staffing and CBS Personnel, Springboro, Ohio, who are engaged in
employment related to the production of multi-function radios
and audio amplifiers, 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 Pioneer Automotive Technologies, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Select Staffing and CBS
Personnel, Springboro, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 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 22nd day of September, 2009
