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 November 20, 2013 by the International Association of
Machinists & Aerospace Workers on behalf of workers of Amphenol
Corporation, Aerospace and Industrial Division, Sidney, New
York. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of electrical interconnects. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from StaffWorks, Adecco,
Superior Technical Resources, Inc. and Manpower.
Workers of Amphenol Corporation, Aerospace and Industrial
Division, including on-site leased workers from StaffWorks,
Adecco, Superior Technical Resources, Inc. and Manpower, Sidney,
New York were previously certified under petition TA-W-81,076.
That certification will expire on December 15, 2013.
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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Amphenol Corporation, Aerospace and Industrial
Division, Sidney, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Amphenol Corporation,
Aerospace and Industrial Division, Sidney, New York, who are
engaged in activities related to production of electrical
interconnects 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 Amphenol Corporation, Aerospace and
Industrial Division, including on-site leased workers
from StaffWorks, Adecco, Superior Technical Resource,
Inc. and Manpower, Sidney, New York, who become totally or
partially separated from employment on December 16, 2013
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on December 16, 2013 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 2nd day of December, 2013
