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 25, 2013 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Tri-Cor Direct - Seton Identification,
including on-site leased workers from Aeroteck Staffing, Monroe
Staffing, Cornerstone Staffing, and Randstad, Branford,
Connecticut (subject firm). Workers of the subject firm are
engaged in activities related to the production of signs, labels
and tags.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at the subject 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 signs, labels and tags
produced by the subject workers, which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the subject firm.





Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tri-Cor Direct -
Seton Identification, Branford, Connecticut, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of signs, labels and tags,
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 Tri-Cor Direct - Seton Identification,
including on-site leased workers from Aeroteck Staffing,
Monroe Staffing, Cornerstone Staffing and Randstad,
Branford, Connecticut, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 24, 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."
