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 June 2, 2010, on behalf of workers of Wiza Industries,
Inc., Muskego, Wisconsin. The workers produced machined parts.
The investigation revealed that workers of Wiza Industries,
Inc., who were engaged in employment related to production of
machined parts, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
proportion of the workers have been separated during the
relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and production of machined parts by Wiza Industries, Inc., have
decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with machined
parts produced by Wiza Industries, Inc., have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at Wiza
Industries, Inc., Muskego, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wiza Industries,
Inc., Muskego, Wisconsin, who were engaged in employment related
to production of machined parts, 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 Wiza Industries, Inc., Muskego, Wisconsin,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 1, 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."
