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 November 14, 2012 by a one-stop/partner on behalf of
workers of Systemax Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Systemax, Inc., Fletcher, Ohio (SMI). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of computers (laptops, desktops, gamers, and
servers). The workers are not separately identifiable. The
workers at the subject firm assemble computers for resale by
the firm. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Staffmark, and Securitas Security
Services USA, Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and its affiliated customer.
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 production of computers by SMI have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
reliance on imports of articles like or directly competitive
with the articles produced by SMI have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
an increased customer reliance on imports contributed
importantly to the worker group separations and sales and
production declines at SMI.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Systemax
Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Systemax,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Staffmark, and Securitas Security Services USA, Inc.,
Fletcher, Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of computers 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 Systemax Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Systemax, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Manpower, Staffmark, and Securitas
Security Services USA, Inc., Fletcher, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 13, 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 December, 2012.
