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 December 2, 2010, by the United Automobile, Aerospace,
Agricultural Implement Workers of America, Local 402 on behalf
of workers of Navistar, Inc., a subsidiary of Navistar
International Corporation, Springfield, Ohio. The workers
produce heavy duty trucks and truck cabs. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from MPS Group, Reliable
Electrical Mechanical, Kettering Material Handling, Encore
Systems and ODW Contract Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Navistar, Inc.,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
heavy duty trucks and truck cabs, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated or threatened with separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production contributed importantly to worker group separations
at the Springfield, Ohio facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Navistar, Inc., a
subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation, Springfield,
Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to production of
heavy duty trucks and truck cabs, 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 Navistar, Inc., a subsidiary of Navistar
International Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from MPS Group, Reliable Electrical Mechanical,
Kettering Material Handling, Encore Systems and ODW
Contract Services, Springfield, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November
29, 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 10th day of February, 2011
