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 October 1, 2009, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Rockwell Automation, Operation Engineering Service
Division, Dublin, Georgia (Rockwell Automation). The workers
are engaged in production of electronic assemblies (programmed
logic controllers). The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Diversco, Securitas, and Compucom.
An earlier certification applicable to the same worker
group (TA-W-62,367) expired on November 8, 2009.
The investigation revealed that workers of Rockwell
Automation, who are engaged in employment related to the
production of electronic assemblies, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
workers in the subject worker group have became totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation,
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
in production of electronic assemblies to a foreign country by
Rockwell Automation.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production of electronic assemblies to Mexico by Rockwell
Automation contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Rockwell Automation, Dublin, Georgia.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rockwell Automation,
Operation Engineering Service Division, Dublin, Georgia, who are
engaged in employment related to the production of electronic
assemblies, 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 Rockwell Automation, Operation Engineering
Service Division, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Diversco, Securitas and Compucom, Dublin,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 9, 2009, 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."
