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
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 29, 2012 on behalf of workers of Husky Injection
Molding Systems, Inc., Buffalo Spare Parts Division, Buffalo, New
York (Husky). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of injection molding equipment for the plastic
industry. The subject worker group supplies spare parts order desk
services and includes on-site leased workers from Selective
Staffing Solutions and Aerotek Staffing.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have become (or is
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 supply of services like or
directly competitive with those supplied by the workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Husky.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Husky Injection Molding
Systems, Inc., Buffalo Spare Parts Division, Buffalo, New York, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of spare parts
order desk 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 Husky Injection Molding Systems, Inc., Buffalo
Spare Parts Division, including on-site leased workers from
Selective Staffing Solutions and Aerotek Staffing, Buffalo,
New York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 27, 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."
