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. (Set forth in 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 17, 2009 by the Iowa State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Intermec Technologies Corporation, a
subsidiary of Intermec, Inc., including on-site leased workers
of Pace Staffing, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The workers are engaged
in activities related to electronic repair services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Intermec
Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of Intermec, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Pace Staffing, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, who are engaged in activities related to
electronic repair services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in electronic repair services by Intermec Technologies
Corporation, a subsidiary of Intermec, Inc., Cedar Rapids,
Iowa to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in electronic
repair services by Intermec Technologies Corporation, a
subsidiary of Intermec, Inc., including on-site leased workers
of Pace Staffing, Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Mexico contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the subject
facility
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Intermec Technologies
Corporation, a subsidiary of Intermec, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Pace Staffing, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who are
engaged in activities related to electronic repair services,
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 Intermec Technologies Corporation, a
subsidiary of Intermec, Inc., including on-site leased
workers of Pace Staffing, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 17, 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 September 2009.
