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 November 17, 2011 by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers of Sanyo Manufacturing Corporation, Sanyo Electric
Division, a subsidiary of Panasonic Corporation, Forrest City
Arkansas (Sanyo). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to production of video and television manufacturing.
The worker group activities include inventory-material control,
accounting, production support, quality, environmental, and
packaging.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from G4S
(Wackenhut) and Ozark Motor Lines.
Workers of Sanyo Manufacturing Corporation were certified
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under
petition TA-W-71,022. The certification will expire on December
30, 2011. The certification does not include the on-site leased
workers from G4S (Wackenhut) and Ozark Motor Lines.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Sanyo.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanyo Manufacturing
Corporation, Sanyo Electric Division, a subsidiary of Panasonic
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from G4S
(Wackenhut) and Ozark Motor Lines, Forrest City, Arkansas who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of inventory-
material control, accounting, production support, quality,
environmental and packaging services, 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 Sanyo Manufacturing Corporation, Sanyo
Electric Division, a subsidiary of Panasonic Corporation,
Forrest City, Arkansas (TA-W-81,095), who become totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December
31, 2011 through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on December 31, 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,
AND


All leased workers from G4S (Wackenhut) and Ozark Motor
Lines, working on-site at Sanyo Manufacturing Corporation,
Forrest City, Arkansas (TA-W-81,095A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after February
13, 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 14th day of December, 2011.
