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 September 17, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Intermec Technologies Corporation, Charlotte Service
Depot, a subsidiary of Intermec, Inc., Charlotte, North
Carolina. The workers are engaged in activities related to the
repair of automatic identification and data collection
equipment services such as handheld computers, bar code
scanners, RFID tags and readers, bar code label printers and
mobile printers. The workers are not separately identifiable by
services.
The worker group also includes on-site leased workers from
PACE Staffing Network.
The investigation revealed that workers of Intermec
Technologies Corporation, Charlotte Service Depot, a subsidiary
of Intermec, Inc., including on-site leased workers from PACE
Staffing Network, Charlotte, North Carolina, (Charlotte Service
Depot) who are engaged in activities related to the repair of
automatic identification and data collection equipment
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
in the repair of automatic identification and data collection
equipment services by Charlotte Service Depot to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in the repair
of automatic identification and data collection equipment
services by Charlotte Service Depot to Mexico contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Charlotte Service
Depot.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Intermec Technologies
Corporation, Charlotte Service Depot, a subsidiary of Intermec,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from PACE Staffing
Network, Charlotte, North Carolina, who are engaged in
activities related to the repair of automatic identification
and data collection equipment 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,
Charlotte Service Depot, a subsidiary of Intermec, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from PACE Staffing
Network, Charlotte, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
16, 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 25th day of November, 2009
