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. (Set forth in 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 March 2, 2010 by the state workforce official, on
behalf of workers of Glaston USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Glaston
America, Inc., Cinnaminson, New Jersey (Glaston USA, Inc.).
The workers are engaged in activities related to the production
of glass manufacturing machinery. The workers are not separately
identifiable by product.
The investigation revealed that workers of Glaston USA,
Inc., a subsidiary of Glaston America, Inc., Cinnaminson, New
Jersey, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of glass manufacturing machinery meet the criteria
for 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 there has been a
shift in the production of glass manufacturing machinery by
Glaston USA, Inc. to China and Finland.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in the
production of glass manufacturing machinery by Glaston USA, Inc.
to China and Finland contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Glaston USA, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Glaston USA, Inc., a
subsidiary of Glaston America, Inc., Cinnaminson, New Jersey,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of glass
manufacturing machinery, 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 Glaston USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Glaston
America, Inc., Cinnaminson, New Jersey, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after March 1,
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 25th day of May, 2010
