ROBERTSHAW CONTROLS COMPANY
A DIVISION OF INVENSYS CONTROLS
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
VOLT SERVICES
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility
to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), and Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 USC
2813), as amended, the Department of Labor issued a Certification
of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on November 7, 2007,
applicable to workers of Robertshaw Controls Company, a division
of Invensys Controls, Long Beach, California. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2007 (72 FR
65607).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
were engaged in the production of gas valve components.
New information shows that leased workers of Volt Services
were employed on-site at the Long Beach, California location of
Robertshaw Controls Company, a division of Invensys Controls.


The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include leased workers of Volt Services working
on-site at the Long Beach, California location of the subject
firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Robertshaw Controls Company, a division
of Invensys Controls who were adversely affected by a shift in
production of gas valve components to Mexico.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-62,308 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Robertshaw Controls Company, a division
of Invensys Controls, including on-site leased workers
from Volt Services, Long Beach, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 2, 2006, through November 9, 2009, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also
eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment
assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.”

ROBERTSHAW CONTROLS COMPANY
A DIVISION OF INVENSYS CONTROLS
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on October 16, 2007 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Robertshaw Controls Company, a division of Invensys
Controls, Long Beach, California. Workers produce gas valves
components.
The investigation revealed that employment at the subject
facility has declined from 2005 to 2006 and in January through
September 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.
Production of gas valves components at Long Beach is currently
being shifted to Mexico, a country that is party to a free trade
agreement with the United States.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of
1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers firm or subdivision to Mexico of articles that are
like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:

"All workers of Robertshaw Controls Company, a division of
Invensys Controls, Long Beach, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October 2,
2006 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.”
