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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 4, 2010 on behalf of workers of Berwick Offray,
LLC, Berwick, Pennsylvania (Berwick Offray, LLC). The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of ribbons
and bows. The workers are not separately identifiable by
product. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
OneSource Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Berwick Offray,
LLC, including on-site leased workers from OneSource Staffing,
Berwick, Pennsylvania who are engaged in activities related to
the production of ribbons and bows meet the criteria for
certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because production
of ribbons and bows decreased during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because imports of
articles or services like or directly competitive with the
ribbons and bows produced by Berwick Offray, LLC have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the firm's increased reliance on imports of ribbons and bows
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
production declines at Berwick Offray, LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Berwick Offray, LLC,
including on-site leased workers from OneSource Staffing,
Berwick, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of ribbons and bows 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 Berwick Offray, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from OneSource Staffing, Berwick,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 30, 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 25th day of June, 2010.
