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 17, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Winchester Electronics Corporation, Rock Hill, South
Carolina (Winchester Electronics Rock Hill). The workers are
engaged in activities related to support staff services for the
production of connector and cable assemblies and interconnect
systems (engineering, customer service, planning, and quality).
The workers are not separately identifiable by services.
The worker group, Winchester Electronics Rock Hill was
covered by an existing certification, (TA-W-63,562) which
expired on July 1, 2010.
The investigation revealed that workers of Winchester
Electronics Rock Hill who are engaged in employment related to
support staff services for the production of connector and cable
assemblies and interconnect systems (engineering, customer
service, planning, and quality) 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 support staff services for the production of connector
and cable assemblies and interconnect systems (engineering,
customer service, planning, and quality) by Winchester
Electronics Rock Hill to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in support
staff services for the production of connector and cable
assemblies and interconnect systems (engineering, customer
service, planning, and quality) to a foreign country by
Winchester Electronics Rock Hill contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Winchester Electronics Rock Hill.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Winchester
Electronics Corporation, Rock Hill, South Carolina, who are
engaged in employment related to support staff services for the
production of connector and cable assemblies and interconnect
systems (engineering, customer service, planning, and quality)
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 Winchester Electronics Corporation, Rock
Hill, South Carolina, 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 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
