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 January 19, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Littelfuse, Inc., Chicago, Illinois (Littelfuse).
The subject firm produces electrical circuit protectors.
The subject worker group is engaged in activities related
to the supply of administrative and support services. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Corporate Resources, Aerotek, Dysis and Tek.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm via a business data request.
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
like or directly competitive with the administrative and support
services supplied by the subject worker group which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Littelfuse.





Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Littelfuse, Inc.,
Chicago, Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of administrative and support 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 Littelfuse, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Corporate Resources and Aerotek,
Chicago, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 22, 2011,
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
And
“All leased workers from Dysis and Tek, working on-site at
Littelfuse, Inc., Chicago, Illinois, 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 16th day of February, 2012
