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 January 12, 2010 on behalf of workers of the Machine
Shop in Plant One of Ellcon National, Greenville, South
Carolina. The workers produce machined components for
transportation applications.
The investigation revealed that workers of this worker
group who are engaged in employment related to the production
of machined components for transportation applications meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because substantial layoffs
occurred within this worker group.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the machining work performed
by the Machine Shop of Plant One.
Criterion III has been met because the production shift
by the subject firm contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Machine Shop in Plant One of Ellcon National,
Greenville, South Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the Machine Shop in
Plant One of Ellcon National, Greenville, South Carolina, who
are engaged in employment related to machined transportation
components 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 the Machine Shop in Plant One of Ellcon
National, Greenville, South Carolina including leased on-
site workers of Aerotek, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 10, 2009,
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 30th day of July, 2010.
