STANLEY BLACK & DECKER, INC.

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM PERSONNEL PLACEMENTS
JACKSON, TENNESSEE

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 February 11, 2011, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., CDIY Division,
Jackson, Tennessee. The workers produce compressors, generators
and pressure washers for industrial, professional and consumer
markets. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Personnel Placements.
The investigation revealed that workers of Stanley Black &
Decker, Inc., CDIY Division, Jackson, Tennessee who are
engaged in activities related to production of compressors,
generators and pressure washers 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 the worker group
separations at the Jackson, Tennessee facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Stanley Black &
Decker, Inc., CDIY Division, Jackson, Tennessee, who are
engaged in activities related to production of compressors,
generators and pressure washers, 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 Stanley Black & Decker, CDIY Division,
including on-site lease workers from Personnel
Placements, Jackson, Tennessee, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 8,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 23rd day of March, 2011
