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 November 12, 2010, by a company official, on behalf of
workers of R & D Maidment, Inc., d/b/a World of Leisure Pool
Table Company, Victorville, California (subject firm). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the production of
pool tables and accessories. The worker group does not include
on-site leased workers.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in employment related to the production
of pool tables and accessories, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
subject firm workers has become totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
by the subject firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the pool tables and
accessories produced by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production to China contributed worker group separations at
the Victorville, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of R & D Maidment, Inc.,
d/b/a World of Leisure Pool Table Company, Victorville,
California, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of pool tables and accessories, 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 R & D Maidment, Inc., d/b/a World of
Leisure Pool Table Company, Victorville, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 9, 2009, 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 29th day of December, 2010
