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 11, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc., Nypro Division,
Rochester, New York. The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of clinical laboratory instruments.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Fountain Group, LLC and Adecco. Workers are not separately
identifiable by article.
The subject firm was previously certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under TA-W-92,639
(certification expires on April 13, 2019).
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Jabil Circuit, Inc., Nypro Division, Rochester,
New York.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jabil Circuit, Inc.,
Nypro Division, Rochester, New York, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of clinical laboratory
instruments, 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 Division,
including on-site leased workers from Fountain Group, LLC
and Adecco, Rochester, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 14,
2019 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 8th day of March 2019.
