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), can be
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)(III) imports of articles directly incorporating one
or more component parts produced outside the United States
that are like or directly competitive with imports of
articles incorporating one or more component parts
produced 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 23, 2009 on behalf of workers of Milacron
Plastics Technologies Group, LLC, Mt. Orab, Ohio (Milacron
Plastics Technologies Group, LLC). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of machine screws, machine
barrels, platens, and gearboxes. The workers are not separately
identifiable by product. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from StaffMark, Viox, Securitas, and Hoist and
Crane.
The investigation revealed that workers of Milacron
Plastics Technologies Group, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from StaffMark, Viox, Securitas, and Hoist and Crane,
Mt. Orab, Ohio who are engaged in employment related to the
production of machine screws, machine barrels, platens, and
gearboxes meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) of the Act has been met because a
significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of machine screws, machine barrels, platens,
and gearboxes decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
plastic machinery directly incorporating machine screws, machine
barrels, platens, and gearboxes produced outside the United
States that are like or directly competitive with imports of
plastic machinery incorporating machine screws, machine barrels,
platens, and gearboxes produced by Milacron Plastics
Technologies Group, LLC have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the imports of plastic machinery incorporating foreign machine
screws, machine barrels, platens, and gearboxes contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and
sales/production declines at Milacron Plastics Technologies
Group, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Milacron Plastics
Technologies Group, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
StaffMark, Viox, Securitas, and Hoist and Crane, Mt. Orab, Ohio,
who are engaged in employment related to machine screws, machine
barrels, platens, and gearboxes 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 Milacron Plastics Technologies Group, LLC,
including on-site leased workers from StaffMark, Viox,
Securitas, and Hoist and Crane, Mt. Orab, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
September 22, 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 18th day of March, 2010
