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 June 24, 2010 by a company official of National
Manufacturing Company, a subsidiary of Stanley Black and Decker,
Sterling. Illinois. The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of builder hardware. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers of Lumea Staffing, Manpower,
and Aureus.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because all workers are
threatened with total separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
is in the process of shifting production of builder hardware
to China.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by the subject firm to China and Mexico contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the subject firm.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of National
Manufacturing Company, a subsidiary of Stanley Black and Decker,
including on-site leased workers of Lumea Staffing, Manpower,
and Aureus, Rock Falls, Illinois, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of builder hardware, 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 National Manufacturing Company, a
subsidiary of Stanley Black and Decker, including on-site
leased workers of Lumea Staffing, Manpower, and Aureus,
Rock Falls, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 21, 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."
