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 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on behalf
of workers of Ryder Integrated Logistics, Findlay, Ohio (TA-W-
73,845). The petition was expanded by a company official to
include workers at Ryder Integrated Logistics, Bowling Green,
Ohio (TA-W-73,845A). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the transportation of auto parts.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ryder Integrated
Logistics who are engaged in activities related to the
transportation of auto parts meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at the workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the transportation of auto
parts during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of the
transportation of auto parts to Canada by Ryder Integrated
Logistics contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Ryder Integrated Logistics.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ryder Integrated
Logistics, Findlay, Ohio (TA-W-73,845) and workers of Ryder
Integrated Logistics, Bowling Green, Ohio (TA-W-73,845A), who
are engaged in activities related to the transportation of
auto parts 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 Ryder Integrated Logistics, Findlay, Ohio
(TA-W-73,845) and workers of Ryder Integrated Logistics,
Bowling Green, Ohio (TA-W-73,845A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 5,
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 24th day of June, 2010.
