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 22, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of AEES, Inc., Mattawan, Michigan. The workers produce
automotive connectors and wire harnesses used in the automotive
industry. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Advance Employment, Aerotek, Inc., Robert Half International and
Career Integration.
The investigation revealed that workers of AEES, Inc.,
Mattawan, Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to
production of automotive connectors and wire harnesses meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
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 Mexico 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 of automotive connectors and wire harnesses by AEES,
Inc., contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the Mattawan, Michigan facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AEES, Inc., Mattawan,
Michigan, who are engaged in employment related to production of
automotive connectors and wire harnesses 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 AEES, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Advance Employment, Aerotek, Inc., Robert Half
International and Career Integration, Mattawan, Michigan,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after January 20, 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 26th day of February, 2010
