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 February 14, 2017 by state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc., Nypro Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Fountain Group LLC and Adecco,
including workers whose wages were reported thru Ortho-Clinical
Diagnostics, Inc., Rochester, New York. The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of clinical
laboratory instruments used for a variety of chemical and
immunodiagnostics testing.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioner.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Jabil Circuit, Inc., Nypro Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Fountain Group LLC and Adecco,
including workers whose wages were reported thru Ortho-Clinical
Diagnostics, Inc., Rochester, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc.,
Nypro Inc., including on-site leased workers from Fountain
Group LLC and Adecco, including workers whose wages were
reported thru Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc., Rochester, New
York, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
clinical laboratory instruments used for a variety of chemical
and immunodiagnostics testing 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 Jabil Circuit, Inc., Nypro Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Fountain Group LLC and
Adecco, including workers whose wages were reported thru
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc., Rochester, New York, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 14, 2016 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 13th day of April, 2017
