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 November 13, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, Eau Claire,
Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145) and Hutchinson Technology Incorporated,
Plymouth, Minnesota (TA-W-82,145A) ("Hutchinson Technology
Incorporated"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of suspension arms for hard disk
drives. TA-W-82,145 includes on-site leased workers from Express
Employment Professionals and Doherty Staffing. TA-W-82,145A
includes on-site leased workers from Atterro.
The workers under TA-W-82,145 were previously certified for
Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-73,357 that expired on
April 15, 2012. TA-W-73,357 did not include any on-site leased
workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Hutchinson Technology Incorporated.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hutchinson Technology
Incorporated, Eau Claire, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145), Hutchinson
Technology Incorporated, including on-site leased workers from
Atterro, Plymouth, Minnesota (TA-W-82,145A), Express Employment
Professionals, working on-site at Hutchinson Technology
Incorporated, Eau Claire, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145B), and Doherty
Staffing Solutions, working on-site at Hutchinson Technology
Incorporated, Eau Claire, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145C) who are
engaged in activities related to the production of suspension
arms for hard disk drives 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 Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, Eau
Claire, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 16,
2012 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,
AND













All workers of Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, including
on-site leased workers from Atterro, Plymouth, Minnesota
(TA-W-82,145A), Express Employment Professionals, working
on-site at Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, Eau Claire,
Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145B), and Doherty Staffing Solutions,
working on-site at Hutchinson Technology Incorporated, Eau
Claire, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,145C), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after November 9,
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."
