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. (Set forth in 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 July 9, 2009 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Emerson Inc., EGS Electrical Group, LLC, O-Z Gedney
Company, Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,614) and
Emerson Inc., EGS Electrical Group LLC, Emerson Industrial
Automation, Pittston, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,614A) (O-Z
Gedney/EGS Electrical). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of electrical fittings and enclosures
used in industrial and commercial construction. The workers are
not separately identifiable by products produced.
The investigation revealed that the worker group at Emerson
Inc., EGS Electrical Group LLC, Emerson Industrial Automation,
Pittston, Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,614A) includes on-site leased
workers from One Source Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of O-Z Gedney/EGS
Electrical who are engaged in activities related to the
production of electrical fittings and enclosures used in
industrial and commercial construction meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift in production of electrical fittings and enclosures used
in industrial and commercial construction by O-Z Gedney/EGS
Electrical to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of electrical fittings and enclosures used in industrial and
commercial construction by O-Z Gedney/EGS Electrical to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker group separations at O-Z
Gedney/EGS Electrical.










Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Emerson Inc., EGS
Electrical Group, LLC, O-Z Gedney Company, Shoemakersville,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-71,614) and Emerson Inc., EGS Electrical
Group LLC, Emerson Industrial Automation, including on-site
leased workers from One Source Staffing, Pittston, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-71,614A), who are engaged in activities related to
production of electrical fittings and enclosures used in
industrial and commercial construction, 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 Emerson Inc., EGS Electrical Group, LLC,
O-Z Gedney Company, Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania (TA-W-
71,614) and Emerson Inc., EGS Electrical Group LLC,
Emerson Industrial Automation, including on-site leased
workers from One Source Staffing, Pittston, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-71,614A), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 8, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of January, 2010
