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 11, 2020 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton,
Oregon (Tektronix-Beaverton). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of test and measurement
equipment. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Vanderhouwen & Associates, Creative Financial
Staffing, Robert Half International, Aerotek, and Adecco.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Tektronix-Beaverton 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 the production of
articles like or directly competitive with the test and
measurement equipment produced by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Tektronix-
Beaverton.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tektronix-Beaverton,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of test
and measurement equipment, 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 Tektronix, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Vanderhouwen & Associates, Creative
Financial Staffing, Robert Half International, Aerotek,
and Adecco, Beaverton, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 10,
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 9th day of July 2020.
