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 May 14, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Avery Dennison, Lenoir, North Carolina. The workers
manufacture printed fabric labels, heat transfer labels, and
woven edge tape. Workers are not separately identifiable by
product line. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Avery Dennison,
Lenoir, North Carolina, who are engaged in employment related
to the production of printed fabric labels, heat transfer
labels, and woven edge tape, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Avery Dennison, Lenoir, North
Carolina, has been totally or partially separated, or are
threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Avery Dennison has
shifted to foreign countries the production of articles like
or directly competitive with printed fabric labels, heat
transfer labels, and woven edge tape.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to China, Honduras, and El Salvador contributed
importantly to separations at Lenoir, North Carolina.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Avery Dennison,
Lenoir, North Carolina, who are engaged in employment related to
the production of printed fabric labels, heat transfer labels,
and woven edge tape, 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 Avery Dennison, including on-site leased
workers of Adecco, Inc., Lenoir, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 13, 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 2nd day of September, 2010
