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 by a company official on October 25, 2010 on behalf of
workers of Springs Window Fashions, LCC, formerly known as
Wisconsin Drapery Supply, Inc., Pewaukee, Wisconsin. The
workers produce window blinds, shades, shutters, drapery
hardware.
The investigation revealed that workers of Springs Window
Fashions, LCC, formerly known as Wisconsin Drapery Supply, Inc.,
Pewaukee, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to
production of window blinds, shades, shutters, drapery hardware,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers are threatened with total or partial
separations.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has committed to shift to a foreign country 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 contributed importantly to threatened worker group
separations at Springs Window Fashions, LCC, formerly known as
Wisconsin Drapery Supply, Inc., Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Springs Window
Fashions, LCC, formerly known as Wisconsin Drapery Supply, Inc.,
Pewaukee, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment related to
production of window blinds, shades, shutters, drapery hardware,
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 Springs Window Fashions, LCC, formerly
known as Wisconsin Drapery Supply, Inc., Pewaukee,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 25, 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 7th day of January, 2011
