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 June 3, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Ingersoll Rand, Security Technologies Division, Colorado
Springs, Colorado. The workers were engaged in the production
of commercial locks. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco.
The investigation revealed that workers of Ingersoll Rand,
Security Technologies Division, Colorado Springs, Colorado,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of
commercial locks, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted abroad the production of articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by Ingersoll Rand to Mexico contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Colorado Springs, Colorado
facility.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ingersoll Rand,
Security Technologies Division, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Colorado Springs, Colorado 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 Ingersoll Rand, Security Technologies
Division, including on-site leased workers from Adecco,
Colorado Springs, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 1, 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."
