A SUBSIDIARY OF FCI SA
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS
FROM MANPOWER INC. AND GEODIS WILSON INC.
MOUNT UNION, PENNSYLVANIA
Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on December 18, 2012, applicable to
workers of Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC, Americas
Division, a subsidiary of FCI SA, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower Inc., Mount Union, Pennsylvania. The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the
Federal Register on January 10, 2013 (Volume 78 FR Pages 2288-
2291).
At the request of a worker, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were
engaged in production of electronic connectors.
The company reports that workers leased from Geodis Wilson
Inc. were employed on-site at the Mount Union, Pennsylvania
location of Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC. The
Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of the subject firm to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Geodis Wilson Inc.
working on-site at the Mount Union, Pennsylvania location of
Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,203 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC,
Americas Division, a subsidiary of FCI SA, including
on-site leased workers from Manpower Inc. and Geodis
Wilson Inc., Mount Union, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 23, 2012, through December 18, 2014,
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 18th day of June, 2013.

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 December 4, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC, Americas
Division, a subsidiary of FCI SA, Mount Union, Pennsylvania (FCI
USA). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of electronic connectors. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Manpower Inc.
Workers from Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC, Americas
Division, a subsidiary of FCI SA, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower Inc., Mount Union, Pennsylvania, was
previously found eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) benefits under petition (TA-W-73,157), which
expired on January 22, 2012.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
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 articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at FCI
USA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Huntingdon County Site,
FCI USA, LLC, Americas Division, a subsidiary of FCI SA,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower Inc., Mount Union,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of electronic connectors 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 Huntingdon County Site, FCI USA, LLC,
Americas Division, a subsidiary of FCI SA, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower Inc., Mount Union,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 23, 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.”
