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 September 9, 2013 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Imation Corporation, Oakdale, Minnesota
(TA-W-83,065), Imation Corporation, Campbell, California (TA-
W-83,065A), Imation Corporation, Thousand Oaks, California
(TA-W-83,065B), and Imation Corporation, San Diego, California
(TA-W-83,065C) (“Imation”).
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of tiered storage, security solutions, consumer
storage, and accessories. Specifically, the workers developed
tiered storage and security solutions under the Imation,
IronKey, and Nexsan brands. The workers also develop consumer
storage and accessories under the Memorex, TDK Like on Record,
and XtremeMac brands.
TA-W-83,065A includes workers whose unemployment insurance
(UI) wages are reported through Nexsan. TA-W-83,065B and TA-W-
83,065C includes workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages
are reported through Insperity.
Workers of Imation, Research and Development and
Engineering Organization, Oakdale, Minnesota are certified under
TA-W-82,368 that expires on February 25, 2015. Workers of
Imation, Scalable Storage, Engineering and OEM Division, Oadale,
Minnesota are certified under TA-W-82,627 that expires on May
17, 2015. Both worker groups are excluded from this
certification.
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 shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Imation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Imation Corporation,
Oakdale, Minnesota (TA-W-83,065), Imation Corporation,
Campbell, California (TA-W-83,065A), Imation Corporation,
Thousand Oaks, California (TA-W-83,065B), and Imation
Corporation, San Diego, California (TA-W-83,065C), who are
engaged in activities related to the production of tiered
storage, security solutions, consumer storage, and accessories
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 Imation Corporation, Oakdale, Minnesota
(TA-W-83,065), Imation Corporation, Campbell, California
(TA-W-83,065A), Imation Corporation, Thousand Oaks,
California (TA-W-83,065B), and Imation Corporation, San
Diego, California (TA-W-83,065C), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
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.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of October, 2013.
