TRANE
A SUBSIDIARY OF INGERSOLL RAND
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AEROTEK,
EXPRESS PERSONNEL SERVICES, SELECT STAFFING, AND
INDUSTRIAL MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS, INC.
PUEBLO, COLORADO

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 January 22, 2010, applicable to workers
of Trane, a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Express Personnel Staffing, and
Select Staffing, Pueblo, Colorado. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on March 5, 2010 (75 FR 10320).
At the request of the State Agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged in activities related to the production of air
conditioning equipment.
The company reports that workers leased from Industrial
Mechanical Contractors, Inc. were employed on-site at the
Pueblo, Colorado location of Trane, a subsidiary of Ingersoll
Rand. 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 Industrial
Mechanical Contractors, Inc. working on-site at the Pueblo,
Colorado location of Trane, a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,482 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Trane, a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Express
Personnel Staffing, Select Staffing, and Mechanical
Contractors, Inc., Pueblo, Colorado, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 22,
2008, through January 22, 2012, 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.”

A SUBSIDIARY OF INGERSOLL RAND

PUEBLO, COLORADO

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 30, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Trane, a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand, Pueblo,
Colorado. The workers produce air conditioning equipment. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Express Personnel Staffing, and Select Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Trane who are
engaged in employment related to production of air
conditioning equipment meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers were separated from employment during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico by Trane by contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Pueblo, Colorado facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Trane, a subsidiary
of Ingersoll Rand, Pueblo, Colorado, who are engaged in
employment related to air conditioning 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 Trane, a subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Express
Personnel Staffing, and Select Staffing, Pueblo, Colorado,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 22, 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.”
