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 27, 2010 on behalf of workers of Cardone
Industries, Plant #20, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The workers
produce power steering pumps and rack and pinion steering.
The investigation revealed that workers of Plant #20 who
are engaged in employment related to production of power
steering pumps and rack and pinion steering meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers have been separated from employment.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted production of power steering pumps and rack and
pinion steering to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by the workers' firm contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Cardone Industries, Plant #20,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cardone Industries,
Plant #20, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
employment related to production of power steering pumps and
rack and pinion steering, 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 Cardone Industries, Plant #20,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 17, 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 14th day of October, 2010
