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 January 8, 2013 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Stoneridge, Inc., Global Wiring Division, Product Cost
Department and Business Development Department, Warren, Ohio
(Stoneridge, Product Cost and Business Development). Workers
of Stoneridge, Product Cost and Business Development are
engaged in activities related to the supply of product cost
and business development services. Workers are not separately
identifiable by service supplied or by the two departments.
The subject worker group does not include leased workers.
During the investigation, information was obtained from
the petitioners and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Stoneridge, Product
Cost and Business Development have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened with total or partial separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the supply services like
or directly competitive with supply of product cost and
business development services supplied by the subject workers,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Stoneridge, Inc., Global Wiring Division, Product Cost
Department and Business Development Department, Warren, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Stoneridge, Inc.,
Global Wiring Division, Product Cost Department and Business
Development Department, Warren, Ohio, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of product cost and business
development 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 Stoneridge, Inc., Global Wiring Division,
Product Cost Department and Business Development
Department, Warren, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 1, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 4th day of February, 2013
