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 15, 2010, on behalf of workers of Meyer
Stampings and Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of Duffy Tool
and Stamping, a Brittany Stamping company, Fort Wayne,
Indiana. The workers are engaged in employment related to
production of metal stampings and welding assemblies. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Staffmark.
The investigation revealed that workers of Meyer Stampings
and Manufacturing meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Brittany Stamping
Company has shifted to a foreign country the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the metal stampings
and welding assemblies produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Meyer
Stampings and Manufacturing, Inc., Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Meyer Stampings and
Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of Duffy Tool and Stamping,
a Brittany Stamping Company, Fort Wayne, Indiana, who are
engaged in employment related to production of metal stampings
and welding assemblies, 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 Meyer Stampings and Manufacturing, Inc., a
subsidiary of Duffy Tool and Stamping, a Brittany
Stamping Company, including on-site leased workers from
Staffmark, Fort Wayne, Indiana, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 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 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 19th day of November, 2010
