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 issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on April 13, 2012, applicable to workers of Siltronic
Corporation, Fab1 Plant, including on-site leased workers from
Express Temporaries and Aerotek Commercial Staffing, Portland,
Oregon. The Department’s Notice of determination was published in
the Federal Register on April 27, 2012 (77 FR 25201). The workers
were engaged in the production of silicon wafers.
At the request of State Workforce Office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The company reports that workers from G4S Secure Solutions
USA, SBM Management Services, LP, Alsco Portland Industrial, VWR
International, Inc., TEK Systems, Solo W-2, Inc., Wickstrom
Consulting Services, Inc., Xenium, Summit Staffing, and Brooks
Staffing were employed on-site at the subject firm.
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 the afore-mentioned
agencies who work(ed) on-site at subject firm. The amended notice
applicable to TA-W-81,456 is hereby issued as follows:
"All workers of Siltronic Corporation, Fab1 Plant,
including on-site leased workers from Express
Temporaries, Aerotek Commercial Staffing, G4S Secure
Solutions USA, SBM Management Services, LP, Alsco
Portland Industrial, VWR International, Inc., TEK
Systems, Solo W-2, Inc., Wickstrom Consulting Services,
Inc., Xenium, Summit Staffing, and Brooks Staffing,
Portland, Oregon, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 28, 2011,
through April 13, 2014, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on April 13, 2012 through April 13, 2014, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter
2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as 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 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 March 29, 2012 by a company official on behalf of workers of
Siltronic Corporation, Fab1 Plant, Portland, Oregon. The worker
group, herein known as Siltronic Corporation, also consists of on-
site leased workers from Express Temporaries and Aerotek Commercial
Staffing. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of silicon wafers.
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 Siltronic
Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of Siltronic Corporation, Fab1 Plant,
including on-site leased workers from Express Temporaries and Aerotek
Commercial Staffing, Portland, Oregon, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of silicon wafers 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 Siltronic Corporation, Fab1 Plant, including on-
site leased workers from Express Temporaries and Aerotek
Commercial Staffing, Portland, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 28, 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.”
