SUNTRON CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM MANPOWER,
NESCO, TPI AND ROBERT HALF
SUGARLAND, TEXAS


Amended 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
(Department) issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance on November 17, 2011, applicable to
workers and former workers of Suntron Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from Manpower, Sugarland, Texas. The
Department’s Notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on December 6, 2012 (Vol. 76, No. 234 FR 76186).
At the request of a state workforce official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in activities related to the production of
circuit boards.
The company reports that workers leased from NESCO, TPI, and
Robert Half were employed on-site at the Sugarland, Texas location
of Suntron Corporation. The Department has determined that these
workers were sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to
be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from NESCO, TPI, and Robert
Half working on-site at the Sugarland, Texas location of the
subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-80,510 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Suntron Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, NESCO, TPI, and Robert
Half, Sugar Land, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 12, 2010,
through November 17, 2013, 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 16th day of July, 2012

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 October 14, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
Suntron Corporation, Sugar Land, Texas (Suntron). The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of circuit
boards. The subject worker group also includes on-site leased
workers from Manpower. The subject worker group includes workers
that produce and assemble circuit boards.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the 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 shifted to a foreign country the production of an article like
or directly competitive with the article produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Suntron.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Suntron Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Sugar Land, Texas,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of circuit
boards 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 Suntron Corporation, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Sugar Land, Texas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October 12,
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 17th day of November, 2011.
