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(c) of the Trade Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can
be satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 3, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Media Mail Packaging and Fulfillment Services, Inc.,
Algood, Tennessee. The workers provide warehousing, inventory
management, and light assembly services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Media Mail
Packaging and Fulfillment Services, who are engaged in
employment related to warehousing, inventory management, and
light assembly services, meet the criteria as Suppliers for
secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Media Mail Packaging
and Fulfillment Services supplied warehousing, inventory
management, and light assembly services to a firm that
employed a TAA-certified worker group to be used in the
production of articles that were the basis for certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
with the firm that employed a TAA-certified worker group, with
respect to warehousing, inventory management, and light
assembly services supplied to that firm, contributed
importantly to worker separations at the Algood, Tennessee
facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Media Mail Packaging
and Fulfillment Services, Inc., Algood, Tennessee, who are
engaged in employment related to warehousing, inventory
management, and light assembly services, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:






"All workers of Media Mail Packaging and Fulfillment
Services, Inc., Algood, Tennessee, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 1,
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 19th day of November, 2010
