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 E.J. Brooks Company,
d/b/a TydenBrooks Security Products Group, Livingston, New Jersey
(E.J. Brooks Company). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of tamper evident seals for security
applications (i.e. security seals). The worker group includes on-
site leased workers from Express Employment Professionals. Workers
are not separately identifiable.
The investigation revealed that workers of E.J. Brooks
Company, d/b/a TydenBrooks Security Products Group, including on-
site leased workers from Express Employment Professionals,
Livingston, New Jersey who are engaged in activities related to
the production of tamper evident seals for security applications
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion of
the workers have become separated, or are threatened with
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of tamper evident seals for security
applications by E.J. Brooks Company to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of tamper
evident seals for security applications to Mexico by E.J. Brooks
Company contributed importantly to worker separations at E.J.
Brooks Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of E.J. Brooks Company,
d/b/a TydenBrooks Security Products Group, including on-site leased
workers from Express Employment Professionals, Livingston, New
Jersey who are engaged in activities related to the production of
tamper evident seals for security applications 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 E.J. Brooks Company, d/b/a TydenBrooks
Security Products Group, including on-site leased workers from
Express Employment Professionals, Livingston, New Jersey who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 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 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 9th day of September, 2010.
