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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 10, 2009 on behalf of workers of Nielsen
Bainbridge, LLC, Gainesboro, Tennessee. The workers produced
ready made frames. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Wise Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Nielsen
Bainbridge, LLC who are engaged in employment related to ready
made frames meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
numbers of the workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of ready made frames by Nielsen Bainbridge,
LLC have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles like or directly competitive with ready made frames
by Nielsen Bainbridge, LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Nielsen
Bainbridge, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nielsen Bainbridge,
Gainesboro, Tennessee, who are engaged in employment related to
ready made frames 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 Nielsen Bainbridge, including on-site
leased workers from Wise Staffing, Gainesboro, Tennessee,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 2, 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."
