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 July 18, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Sathers Trucking, Inc., a subsidiary of Ferrara
Candy Company, Inc., formerly Farley's & Sathers Candy
Company, Inc., Traffic Department, Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
production of candy. The worker group supplies transportation
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Select Staffing Temporary Service.
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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the candy produced by the
workers' firm, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Sathers Trucking, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Sathers Trucking,
Inc., a subsidiary of Ferrara Candy Company, Inc., formerly
Farley's & Sathers Candy Company, Inc., Traffic Department,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of transportation services 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 Sathers Trucking, Inc., a subsidiary of
Ferrara Candy Company, Inc., formerly Farley's & Sathers
Candy Company, Inc., Traffic Department, including on-
site leased workers from Select Staffing Temporary
Service, Chattanooga, Tennessee who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 17,
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 3rd day of August, 2012
