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 28, 2010 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Mattel, Inc., Global Logistics Organization, Distribution
Center, City of Industry, California. The workers distribute
goods produced at affiliated facilities. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers of Select Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Mattel, Inc.,
Global Logistics Organization, Distribution Center, City of
Industry, California, including on-site leased workers of
Select Staffing, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Mattel, Inc., Global Logistics
Organization, Distribution Center, City of Industry, California,
has been totally or partially separated, or threatened with such
separation.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of distribution
services.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
distribution services to China contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Mattel, Inc., Global Logistics
Organization, Distribution Center, City of Industry, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mattel, Inc., Global
Logistics Organization, Distribution Center, City of Industry,
California, who are engaged in employment related to
distribution services, 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 Mattel, Inc., Global Logistics
Organization, Distribution Center, including on-site leased
workers of Select Staffing, City of Industry, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 17, 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 August, 2010
