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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on June 14, 2012 on behalf of workers of Sanmina-SCI, MSD
Division, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of plastic injection
molded and aluminum die cast products. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Manpower.
Workers of Sanmina-SCI, MSD Division, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin
were previously certified for TAA under petition number TA-W-
64,545 that expired on March 25, 2011.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of plastic injection molded and aluminum die
cast products by Sanmina-SCI, MSD Division, Turtle Lake,
Wisconsin have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Sanmina-SCI have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because the
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at Sanmina-SCI,
MSD Division, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sanmina-SCI, MSD
Division, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities
related to production of plastic injection molded and aluminum
die cast products 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 Sanmina-SCI, MSD Division, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 7, 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 16th day of October, 2012.
