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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers’ separation or threat
of separation and to the decline in the sales or production
of such firm.


The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 11, 2013 by a group of workers on behalf of
workers of OAI Electronics, LLC, Tulsa, Oklahoma (OAI
Electronics). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of electronic circuit card assemblies.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Adecco, Resource Manufacturing, and Bridge Employment Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and one of its customers.
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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of electronic circuit card assemblies by OAI
Electronics have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of electronic circuit card assemblies like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by OAI Electronics have
increased during the relevant period.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the worker
group separations and sales/production declines at OAI
Electronics.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of OAI Electronics, LLC,
Tulsa, Oklahoma, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of electronic circuit card assemblies, 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 OAI Electronics, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco, Resource Manufacturing, and
Bridge Employment Services, Tulsa, Oklahoma, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 8, 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 22nd day of March, 2013
