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 21, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of CareFusion 2200, Inc., Riverside, California. The
workers manufacture plastic injection molded devices and iodine
skin sterilization products for critical care and medical
technologies. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Inc. and Snelling.
The investigation revealed that workers of CareFusion 2200,
Inc., Riverside, California, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of plastic injection molded devices
and iodine skin sterilization products, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm has been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation,
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because CareFusion 2200, Inc.,
Riverside, California has shifted to a foreign country the
production of articles like or directly competitive with those
produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker group
separations at CareFusion 2200, Inc., Riverside, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CareFusion 2200,
Inc., Riverside, California, who are engaged in employment
related to the production of plastic injection molded devices
and iodine skin sterilization products, 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 CareFusion 2200, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Adecco, Inc. and Snelling, Riverside,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 16, 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 15th day of July, 2010
