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 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of International
Thermal Systems LLC, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The workers produce
industrial ovens and washers used in manufacturing processes.
Workers are not separately identifiable by product.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Argus, Faith Technologies, Product Services, and Tradesman.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Milwaukee
plant, who were engaged in employment related to the
production of industrial ovens and washers, meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers have been separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
is shifting abroad production of industrial ovens and washers.
Criterion III has been met because the shifts of
production abroad contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Milwaukee plant.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International Thermal
Systems LLC, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who are engaged in employment
related to industrial oven and washer production, 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 International Thermal Systems LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Argus, Faith
Technologies, Product Services, and Tradesman, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 16, 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."
