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 October 6, 2010 by a One Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of Motorola, Inc., CDMA Messaging Product Group,
Arlington Heights, Illinois. The workers develop software for
cellular communications.
The investigation revealed that workers of the CDMA
Messaging Product Group, who are engaged in employment related
to software development for cellular communications, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated from employment during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because workers' firm has
shifted services to a foreign country like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the CDMA Messaging
Product Group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker group separations in the
CDMA Messaging Product Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Motorola, Inc., CDMA
Messaging Product Group, Arlington Heights, Illinois, who are
engaged in employment related to software development for
cellular communications, 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 Motorola, Inc., CDMA Messaging Product
Group, Arlington Heights, Illinois, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
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 24th day of November, 2010
