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 July 9, 2010 on behalf of workers of Sensata
Technologies Inc., Customer Service Organization, including
on-site leased workers from Olsten Staffing Services,
Attleboro, Massachusetts. The workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of various customer services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sensata
Technologies, Inc., Customer Service Organization in
Attleboro, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of customer services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers have been totally or partially
separated or threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a provider in India services like or
directly competitive with the customer services supplied by the
workers in Attleboro.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
customer services from India by Sensata Technologies, Inc.
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 Sensata Technologies
Inc., Customer Service Organization, including on-site leased
workers from Olsten Staffing Services, Attleboro,
Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of customer 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 Sensata Technologies Inc., Customer
Service Organization, including on-site leased workers
from Olsten Staffing Services, Attleboro, Massachusetts,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 15, 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 21st day of July, 2010
