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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 5, 2011 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Motorola Mobility, Inc., Mobile Devices Business - Product
Development Operations, Program Management, Software, IT, and
Technical Marketing, Libertyville, Illinois (Motorola Mobile
Device Business). The worker group also encompasses workers
whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through
Motorola, Inc. and on-site leased workers of Kelly OCG. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of hardware and software engineering design supplying support
services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm petitioners and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Motorola Mobile Device Business.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Motorola Mobility,
Inc., Mobile Devices Business - Product Development
Operations, Program Management, Software, IT, and Technical
Marketing, Libertyville, Illinois including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through
Motorola, Inc. and on-site leased workers of Kelly OCG, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of hardware and
software engineering design 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 Motorola Mobility, Inc., Mobile Devices
Business - Product Development Operations, Program
Management, Software, IT, and Technical Marketing,
Libertyville, Illinois including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported through
Motorola, Inc. and on-site leased workers of Kelly OCG, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 1, 2010, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on December 20,
2011 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 2nd day of December, 2011.
