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 March 12, 2010 on behalf of workers of Roche
Diagnostics Operations, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana. The
workers produce drug reagents. The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Adecco Technical Division Headquarters,
Adecco Technical Division Regional Office, and Adecco Technical
On-Site Office.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production by Roche Diagnostics Operations to a
foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to worker group separations
at the Indianapolis, Indiana facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Roche Diagnostics
Operations, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana, who are engaged in
employment related to production of drug reagents 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 Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco Technical
Division Headquarters, Adecco Technical Division Regional
Office, and Adecco Technical On-Site Office, Indianapolis,
Indiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 11, 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."
