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 August 27, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Parker Hannifin Corporation, Hydraulic Cartridge
Systems Division, Chanhassen, Minnesota (Parker Hannifin).
Workers at the subject firm are engaged in employment related
to the production of hydraulic manifolds, including final
assembly and testing. Workers are not separately identifiable
by function.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Aerotek and Volt Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Parker Hannifin,
who are engaged in employment related to the production of
hydraulic manifolds, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at Parker Hannifin have been separated
from 2007 to 2008, and during January through August 2009
compared to the corresponding 2008 period.
Criterion II has been met because Parker Hannifin has
acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with hydraulic manifolds produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
hydraulic manifolds from a foreign country contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Parker Hannifin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Parker Hannifin
Corporation, Hydraulic Cartridge Systems Division, including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek and Volt Services, Chanhassen,
Minnesota, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of hydraulic manifolds, 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 Parker Hannifin Corporation, Hydraulic
Cartridge Systems Division, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and Volt Services, Chanhassen,
Minnesota, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of hydraulic manifolds, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 26,
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 12th day of January, 2010
