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 August 2, 2010 by a California state workforce
official on behalf of workers of Leach International, a
division of Esterline Technologies, Buena Vista, California.
The workers produce relays, contactors, and power distribution
units. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Ultimate Staffing Services, Aerotek, Amtec Human Capital, and
HelpMates. On-site leased workers from StaffMark are covered by
a certification number TA-W-72,896 issued on August 13, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of Leach
International, who are engaged in employment related to
production of relays, contactors, and power distribution
units, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the firm has
shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of relays, contactors, and power distribution units
by Leach International contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Buena Park, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Leach International,
a division of Esterline Technologies, Buena Park, California,
who are engaged in employment related to production of relays,
contactors, and power distribution units, 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 Leach International, a division of
Esterline Technologies, including on-site leased workers
from Ultimate Staffing Services, Aerotek, Amtec Human
Capital, and HelpMates, Buena Park, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 22, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 13th day of August, 2010
