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 23, 2009, on behalf of workers of Moyno, Inc.,
Fluid Management Group, a subsidiary of Robbins & Myers, Inc.,
Springfield, Ohio. The workers produce industrial pumps. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Express
Temporary Employees and Account Temps.
The investigation revealed that workers of Moyno, Inc., who
are engaged in employment related to the production of
industrial pumps, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition from
India, the United Kingdom and China by Moyno, Inc.,
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Springfield, Ohio, facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Moyno, Inc., Fluid
Management Group, a subsidiary of Robbins & Myers, Inc.,
Springfield, Ohio, including on-site leased workers from Express
Temporary Employees and Account Temps, who are engaged in
employment related to production of industrial pumps 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 Moyno, Inc., Fluid Management Group, a
subsidiary of Robbins & Myers, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Express Temporary Employees and
Account Temps, Springfield, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 15,
2008, 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 15th day of December, 2009
