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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on April 6, 2010 by the state workforce agency on behalf
of workers of Ryder Integrated Logistics, Carson, California
(Ryder). The workers are engaged in activities related to
transportation and logistics services. The workers are not
separately identifiable. The group consists of on-site leased
workers from CPC Logistics.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ryder who are
engaged in activities related to transportation and logistics
services meet the criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Ryder have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Ryder
supplied transportation and logistics services directly to a
firm with a currently certified Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA) worker group, and the service supplied was related to
the production of an article that was the basis for the TAA
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the transportation and
logistics services supplied by Ryder for a firm that employed
a worker group covered by an active certification accounted
for at least 20 percent of the sales of Ryder.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ryder Integrated
Logistics, including on-site leased workers from CPC
Logistics, Carson, California, who are engaged in activities
related to transportation and logistics services meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:



"All workers of Ryder Integrated Logistics, including on-
site leased workers from CPC Logistics, Carson,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 22, 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 25th day of June, 2010.
