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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received
a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or
production is related to the article or service that was
the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply of
services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222
of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 13, 2010 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Injex Industries, Inc., Hayward, California (Injex
Industries, Inc.). Workers at the subject firm are engaged in
activities related to the production of injection molded plastic
parts and assemblies (i.e.: injection molding, assembly,
painting and storage). The workers are not separately
identifiable by product. The worker group also includes on-site
leased workers from The Staffing Solutions Group.
The investigation revealed that workers of Injex Industries,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from The Staffing
Solutions Group, Hayward, California who are engaged in
activities related to the production of injection molded plastic
parts and assemblies meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers of Injex
Industries, Inc. produced and sold injection molded plastic
parts and assemblies to a firm that employed a worker group who
is covered by an active certification to be incorporated into
automobiles.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Injex Industries, Inc. with the TAA-certified firm, with respect
to injection molded plastic parts and assemblies sold to the
TAA-certified firm, contributed importantly to worker
separations at Injex Industries, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Injex Industries,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from The Staffing
Solutions Group, Hayward, California who are engaged in
activities related to the production of injection molded plastic
parts and assemblies meet the worker group certification criteria
under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the following certification:




"All workers of Injex Industries, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from The Staffing Solutions Group, Hayward,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 12, 2009, 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 13th day of April, 2010.
