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 June 20, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Digi International Inc., Eden Prairie, Minnesota
("Digi International Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of electronic assembly and
test circuit boards for IOT/Wireless communications. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Pro Staff, and Kelly Services.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Digi
International Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Digi International
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Pro
Staff, and Kelly Services, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of electronic
assembly and test circuit boards for IOT/Wireless
communications 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 Digi International Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Pro Staff, and Kelly
Services, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 19,
2017, 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 10th day of July 2018.
