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 April 10, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Trumeter Company, Inc., Windsor, Connecticut
(Trumeter). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of counting, timing, and measuring
devices. The subject worker group includes workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported through
Redington Counters, Inc. and on-site leased workers from Job
Pro Temporary Services.
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
articles like or directly competitive with the articles
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Trumeter.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trumeter Company,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Job Pro Temporary
Services, including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages are reported through Redington Counters, Inc., Windsor,
Connecticut, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of counting, timing, and measuring devices 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 Trumeter Company, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Job Pro Temporary Services, including
workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages are
reported through Redington Counters, Inc., Windsor,
Connecticut, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after March 16, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 10th day of May, 2012.
