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 12, 2012 by The International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW), local 1313 on behalf of workers of Burroughs
Inc., Plymouth, Michigan (Burroughs). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of quantum
sorters and the supply of quality testing and repair of
scanners. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Pinnacle Staffing and Snelling.
The worker group, Burroughs Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Pinnacle Staffing and Snelling, Plymouth,
Michigan, was found eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) benefits under petition TA-W-75,004, which
expired on January 19, 2013.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Burroughs.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Burroughs Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Pinnacle Staffing and
Snelling, Plymouth, Michigan, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of quantum sorters and the supply of
quality testing and repair of scanners 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 Burroughs Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Pinnacle Staffing and Snelling, Plymouth,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 20, 2013 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., 13th day of February, 2013.
