In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act”), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on July 7, 2010, applicable to workers and former

At the request of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the

for the Department to determine that there was operational
control of the leased workers by the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,843 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Hasbro, Inc., Hasbro Managerial Services,
Inc., including on-site leased workers of Entegee, East

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 April 5, 2010 on behalf of workers of Hasbro, Inc., East
Longmeadow, Massachusetts. The workers produce board games, card
games, puzzles, and toys. The workers may have wages reported
under unemployment insurance accounts Hasbro, Inc., and/or Hasbro
Managerial Services, Inc. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Reliable Temp Agency.
Workers of Hasbro, Inc., East Longmeadow, Massachusetts were
covered by certification TA-W-62,787 that expired on February 21,
2010. Workers from Reliable Temp Agency were not covered by
certification TA-W-62,787.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hasbro, Inc. who
are engaged in employment related to production of board games,
card games, puzzles, and toys meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the East
Longmeadow, Massachusetts facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hasbro, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Reliable Temp Agency, East
Longmeadow, Massachusetts, who are engaged in employment related
to production of board games, card games, puzzles, and toys 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 Hasbro, Inc., Hasbro Managerial Services,
Inc., East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, (TA-W-73,843) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 22, 2010, 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,
AND
All workers from Reliable Temp Agency working on-site at
Hasbro, Inc., East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, (TA-W-73,843A)
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 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 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.”

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm

satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the

(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

(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign

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

games, puzzles, and toys. The workers may have wages reported
under unemployment insurance accounts Hasbro, Inc., and/or Hasbro

certification TA-W-62,787.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hasbro, Inc. who
are engaged in employment related to production of board games,
card games, puzzles, and toys meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production

investigation, I determine that workers of Hasbro, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers of Reliable Temp Agency, East
Longmeadow, Massachusetts, who are engaged in employment related
to production of board games, card games, puzzles, and toys meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of
