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 December 15, 2012 by a union official on behalf of
workers of Film Services Technicolor, a division of Technicolor,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Ajilon Professional
Staffing, North Hollywood and Glendale, California
(Technicolor). The workers are engaged in activities related to
the supply of film processing services.
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 supply of services
that are like or directly competitive with film processing
services performed by the workers, which contributed importantly
to worker separations at Technicolor.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Film Services
Technicolor, a division of Technicolor, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Ajilon Professional Staffing, North
Hollywood and Glendale, California, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of film processing 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 Film Services Technicolor, a division of
Technicolor, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Ajilon Professional Staffing, North Hollywood and Glendale,
California, 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 23rd day of March, 2012
