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 20, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Morse Automotive Corporation, Warehousing Operations
Division, Chicago, Illinois (subject firm). The workers supply
warehousing services for their firm. The subject worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
Workers at the subject facility were eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 4, 2008 (TA-W-64,284).
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
warehousing services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers at the subject firm are threatened to become totally
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the warehousing services supplied by
the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
warehousing services to Mexico contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Chicago, Illinois facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Morse Automotive
Corporation, Warehousing Operations Division, Chicago,
Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to warehousing
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 Morse Automotive Corporation, Warehousing
Operations Division, Chicago, Illinois, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after November
5, 2010, through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on 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 5th day of November, 2010
