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. (Set forth in 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 17, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Winchester Electronics Corporation, Franklin,
Massachusetts (Winchester Electronics Franklin), including on-
site leased workers from Majestic Staffing, Staffmark, and Davis
Company, Franklin, Massachusetts. The workers are engaged in
activities related to production of connector and cable
assemblies and interconnect systems.
The workers of Winchester Electronics Franklin (TA-W-
74,886), were previously determined to be eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-63,563
(certification expired on July 1, 2010). The previous
certification did not include the on-site leased workers from
Majestic Staffing, Staffmark, and Davis Company (TA-W-74,886A).
The investigation revealed that workers of Winchester
Electronics Franklin, who are engaged in activities related to
production of connector and cable assemblies and interconnect
systems, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of connector and cable assemblies and
interconnect systems by Winchester Electronics Franklin to a
foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of cable assemblies and interconnect systems by Winchester
Electronics Franklin contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Winchester Electronics Franklin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Winchester
Electronics Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Majestic Staffing, Staffmark, and Davis Company, Franklin,
Massachusetts, who are engaged in employment related to
production of connector and cable assemblies and interconnect
systems, 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 the Winchester Electronics Corporation,
Franklin, Massachusetts (TA-W-74,886), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after July, 2,
2010, 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," and
"All workers of Majestic Staffing, Staffmark, and Davis
Company working on-site at Winchester Electronics
Corporation, Franklin, Massachusetts(TA-W-74,886A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 16, 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 8th day of December, 2010
