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 25, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Yale Security, Inc., a subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY,
Lenoir City, Tennessee (subject firm). The workers' firm was
engaged in employment related to the production of door locks
and door hardware.
The workers firm included on-site leased workers from ARG
Financial Staffing, Accounting Principals, Express Services,
Inc., and M Force Staffing.
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 locks and lock
hardware produced by the subject firm, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Yale Security,
Inc., Lenoir City, Tennessee.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Yale Security,
Inc., a subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY, Lenoir City, Tennessee, who
were engaged in employment related to the production of door
locks and door hardware, 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 Yale Security, Inc., a subsidiary of ASSA
ABLOY, including on-site leased workers from ARG
Financial Staffing, Accounting Principals, Express
Services, Inc., and M Force Staffing, Lenoir City,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 18, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 7th day of May, 2012
