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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on March 2, 2010, applicable to workers of Tektronix,
Inc., Beaverton, Oregon. The workers produce general purpose
electronic test equipment. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on April 23, 2010 (75 FR 21361) An amended
certification was issued on April 19, 2010 to include workers
whose wages were reported under a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account for Maxtek, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Tektronix, Inc. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on April 29, 2010 (75 FR 22629)
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to production of
general purpose electronic test equipment.
New information shows that Maxtek has been renamed to
Tektronix Component Solutions. In addition, some workers of
Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, Oregon may now have their wages
reported under Tektronix Service Solutions, a new subsidiary of
Tektronix, Inc. Accordingly, the Department is amending this
certification to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
the shift in production of general purpose electronic test
equipment to a foreign country.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-72,888 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers Tektronix, Inc., including workers of Tektronix
Component Solutions, formerly known as Maxtek, and

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 November 19, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Tektronix, Inc, Beaverton, Oregon. The workers produce
general purpose electronic test equipment. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Adecco Employment Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Tektronix, who
are engaged in employment related to production of general
purpose electronic test equipment, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated or are threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
to China by Tektronix contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Beaverton, Oregon facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tektronix, Inc,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco Employment
Services, Beaverton, Oregon, who are engaged in employment
related to production of general purpose electronic test
equipment, 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 Tektronix, Inc, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco Employment Services, Beaverton, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after November 17, 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.”
