HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL
AEROSPACE AVIONICS
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM
MANPOWER AND PDS TECH, INC.
DEER VALLEY, PHOENIX, ARIZONA

Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on August 20, 2009, applicable to workers
of Honeywell International Aerospace Avionics including on-site
leased workers of Manpower, Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona. The
notice was published in the Federal Register on September 22,
2009 (74 FR 48301).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
avionics.
The company reports that on-site leased workers from PDS
Tech, Inc. were employed on-site at the Deer Valley, Phoenix,
Arizona location of Honeywell International Aerospace Avionics.
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 workers leased from PDS Tech, Inc.
working on-site at the Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona location of
Honeywell International Aerospace Avionics.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-70,805 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Honeywell International, Aerospace
Avionics, including on-site leased workers of Manpower and
PDS Tech. Inc., Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 18, 2008, through August 20, 2011, and all workers in
the group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on 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.”

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL

INCLUDING LEASED ON-SITE WORKERS OF MANPOWER
DEER VALLEY, PHOENIX, ARIZONA

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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(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
(i)(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.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers’
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 29, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Honeywell International, Aerospace Avionics, Deer
Valley, Phoenix, Arizona. The workers produced electronic
aircraft avionics.
The investigation revealed that workers of Honeywell
International who are engaged in employment related to
avionics meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated, or are threatened with
separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because Honeywell International
has shifted to a foreign country production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of avionics
to Malaysia by Honeywell International contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Deer Valley, Phoenix,
Arizona facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Aerospace Avionics, including on-site leased
workers of Manpower, Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona who are
engaged in employment related to the production of avionics 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 Honeywell International, Aerospace
Avionics, including on-site leased workers of Manpower,
Deer Valley, Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 18,
2008, through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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.”
