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 23, 2010 on behalf of workers of Mattel, Inc.,
Infrastructure Services, El Segundo, California (Mattel,
Inc.). The workers are engaged in activities related to
infrastructure services (e.g. help desk services and
informational technology services). The workers are not
separately identifiable by function. The worker group also
includes on-site leased workers of PrO Unlimited.
The investigation revealed that workers of Mattel, Inc.,
Infrastructure Services, El Segundo, California who are
engaged in employment related to infrastructure services meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
workers at Mattel, Inc. have been separated or are threatened
with separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Mattel, Inc. has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
infrastructure services from Mattel, Inc. to a foreign country
contributed importantly to separations at Mattel, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mattel, Inc.,
Infrastructure Services, including on-site leased workers of
PrO Unlimited, El Segundo, California, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of infrastructure 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., Infrastructure Services,
including on-site leased workers of PrO Unlimited, El
Segundo, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 20, 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 8th day of October, 2010
