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 30, 2010, by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America, Local 848 on behalf of workers of Triumph
Aerostructures, LLC, formerly known as Vought Aircraft
Industries, Inc., Vought Commercial Division, Grand Prairie,
Texas. The workers produce aircraft aerostructures. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Johnson
Service Group, Aerostructures, Global Tech Service, PDS
Technical Services, and Volt Technical Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Triumph
Aerostructures, LLC who are engaged in activities related to
production of aircraft aerostructures meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
articles from a foreign country by Triumph Aerostructures, LLC
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Grand Prairie, Texas facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Triumph
Aerostructures, LLC, formerly known as Vought Aircraft
Industries, Inc., Vought Commercial Division, including on-site
leased workers from Johnson Service Group, Aerostructures,
Global Tech Service, PDS Technical Services, and Volt Technical
Service, Grand Prairie, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to aircraft aerostructures, 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 Triumph Aerostructures, LLC, formerly known
as Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc., Vought Commercial
Division, including on-site leased workers from Johnson
Service Group, Aerostructures, Global Tech Service, PDS
Technical Services, and Volt Technical Service, Grand
Prairie, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 26, 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 6th day of October, 2010
