FLEXTRONICS SYSTEMS TEXAS LTD
A SUBSIDIARY OF FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AEROTEK
STAFFORD, TEXAS

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 July 17, 2013 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Flextronics Systems Texas LTD, a subsidiary of
Flextronics International, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Stafford, Texas (Flextronics). The subject firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of mechanical
assemblies and component parts. Workers are not separately
identifiable by product line.
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 the mechanical
assemblies and/or component parts 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 Systems
Texas LTD, Stafford, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of mechanical assemblies and component
parts, 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 Systems Texas LTD, a
subsidiary of Flextronics International, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Stafford, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 15, 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."
