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. (Set forth in 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 4, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Kimble Chase Life Science and Research Products LLC,
Vineland, New Jersey. The workers are engaged in activities
related to production of laboratory glassware. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of Kimble Chase
Life Science and Research Products LLC, who are engaged in
activities related to production of laboratory glassware, 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 foreign countries 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 laboratory glassware by Kimble Chase Life Science
and Research Products LLC contributed importantly to worker
group separations at the Vineland, New Jersey facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Kimble Chase Life
Science and Research Products LLC, Vineland, New Jersey, who
are engaged in employment related to production of laboratory
glassware, 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 Kimble Chase Life Science and Research
Products LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Vineland, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 14,
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 16th day of August, 2010
