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 September 16, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sabritec, Irvine, California. The workers produce
connectors and cable assemblies. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Mattson Resources, Volt Temporary
Services, Headway, Volt, Pac Tech, Aerotek, and Kimco.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sabritec who are
engaged in employment related to connectors and cable
assemblies meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
to a foreign country in the production of articles like or
directly competitive with connectors and cable assemblies
produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Sabritec.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sabritec, Irvine,
California, who are engaged in employment related to connectors
and cable assemblies 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 Sabritec, including on-site leased workers
of Mattson Resources, Volt Temporary Services, Headway,
Volt, Pac Tech, Aerotek, and Kimco, Irvine, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after September 15, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 12th day of April, 2010
