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 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 on behalf of the workers of Precision
Camera & Video Repair, Inc., Enfield, Connecticut (subject firm).
Workers supply services related to the repair and maintenance of
digital imaging equipment. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from U.S. Engineering, Staffmark, Premiere
Staffing and United Personnel.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who supply services related to the repair and maintenance
of digital imaging equipment, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the subject firm has become totally
or partially separated, or are threatened with such
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the foreign
acquisition by the subject firm of like or directly
competitive services contributed importantly to worker group
separations ay the Enfield, Connecticut facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Precision Camera &
Video Repair, Inc., Enfield, Connecticut, who supply services
related to the repair and maintenance of digital imaging
equipment, 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 Precision Camera & Video Repair, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from U.S. Engineering,
Staffmark, Premiere Staffing and United Personnel, Enfield,
Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 2, 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."
