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 August 24, 2012 by a One Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of Avnet, Inc., Logistics Division, including on-site
leased workers from Collectron and Sonitronies, and including
remote workers at Nogales, Arizona reporting to, Richardson,
Texas (subject firm). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of cables, connectors, harnesses and
custom electric motors. Workers are not separately identifiable
by product line.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm via electronic mail and a
business data request.
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 a(n) article
like or directly competitive with those produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
subject firm.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Avnet, Inc., Logistics
Division, Richardson, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of cables, connectors, harnesses and
custom electric motors, 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 Avnet, Inc., Logistics Division, including
on-site leased workers from Collectron and Sonitronies, and
including remote workers at Nogales, Arizona reporting to,
Richardson, Texas, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after August 23, 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 15th day of October, 2012
