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 October 22, 2009 on behalf of workers of Da-Tech
Corporation, Ivyland, Pennsylvania. The workers produced
circuit card assemblies for avionics, medical, and instrument
devices. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Judge Technical Services, Synerfac Technical, MRI Contract
Staffing Inc., Aerotek Commercial Staffing, McGrath Systems, JBR
Staffing Solutions, Temporary Staffing Inc., and On Time
Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Da-Tech
Corporation, who were engaged in employment related to
production of circuit card assemblies, meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of electronic manufacturing by Da-Tech
corporation have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
circuit card assemblies produced by Da-Tech Corporation have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Da-Tech Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of Da-Tech Corporation, Ivyland,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in employment related to
production of circuit card 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 Da-Tech Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Judge Technical Services, Synerfac
Technical, MRI Contract Staffing Inc., Aerotek Commercial
Staffing, McGrath Systems, JBR Staffing Solutions,
Temporary Staffing Inc., and On Time Staffing, Ivyland,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after September 24, 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 30th day of July, 2010
