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 19, 2010 on behalf of workers of Sensata
Technologies, Inc., Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and
Collections, Attleboro, Massachusetts. The workers are engaged
in accounting services associated with production of
electronic and automotive parts. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Olsten Staffing Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Sensata
Technologies, who are engaged in activities related to
accounting services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have become totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Sensata Technologies to a foreign country in the supply
of services like or directly competitive with the services
supplied by Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and
Collections.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to worker group separations in Accounts
Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Collections.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sensata Technologies,
Inc., Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Collections,
including on-site leased workers from Olsten Staffing Services,
Attleboro, Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities related
to accounting services, 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 Sensata Technologies, Inc., Accounts
Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Collections, including
on-site leased workers from Olsten Staffing Services,
Attleboro, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 15, 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 29th day of October, 2010
