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 February 8, 2013 by a company official on
behalf of workers of Flextronics America, LLC, formerly known
as Solectron, a subsidiary of Flextronics International USA,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek Commercial
Staffing, Creedmoor, North Carolina (Flextronics). Workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of automatic
vending machines. Workers of Flextronics were covered under a
previous certification (TA-W-73,556; expired on August 5, 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 at Flextronics 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 an
article like or directly competitive with automatic vending
machines produced by the workers, which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Flextronics.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Flextronics America,
LLC, Creedmoor, North Carolina, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of automatic vending machines, 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 Flextronics America, LLC, formerly known
as Solectron, a subsidiary of Flextronics International
USA, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek
Commercial Staffing, Creedmoor, North Carolina, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 6, 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.”
