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 May 3, 2012 on behalf of workers of Resource
Plastics, Inc., d/b/a/ Johnson Precision, including on-site
leased workers from Leddy Group, CV Staffing Solutions,
Microtech Staffing Group, and Monroe Staffing, Amherst and
Hudson, New Hampshire (Johnson Precision). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of plastic
injection molded components and subassemblies for medical and
industrial applications. The workers' firm is in the process
of moving from a facility in Amherst, New Hampshire to Hudson,
New Hampshire. This certification covers workers separated or
threatened with separation from both locations.
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 Johnson Precision 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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with the plastic injection molded
components and subassemblies produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Johnson
Precision.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Resource Plastics,
Inc., d/b/a/ Johnson Precision, including on-site leased
workers from Leddy Group, CV Staffing Solutions, Microtech
Staffing Group, and Monroe Staffing, Amherst and Hudson, New
Hampshire, who are engaged in activities related to production
of plastic injection molded components and subassemblies, 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 Resource Plastics, Inc., d/b/a/ Johnson
Precision, including on-site leased workers from Leddy
Group, CV Staffing Solutions, Microtech Staffing Group,
and Monroe Staffing, Amherst and Hudson, New Hampshire,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 2, 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 13th day of June, 2012
