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 30, 2009, on behalf of workers of Jones Lang
Lasalle, Corporate Solutions Division, working on-site at
Honeywell International, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona. The workers
provide facility maintenance and mailroom services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Jones Lang
LaSalle working on-site at Honeywell International, Inc. meet
the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Honeywell
International, Inc. has shifted to a foreign country the
production of an article like or directly competitive with the
article produced at the Phoenix, Arizona facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production by Honeywell International, Inc. contributed
importantly the separations of workers of Jones Lang LaSalle
working on-site at the Phoenix, Arizona facility of Honeywell
International, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jones Lang Lasalle,
Corporate Solutions Division, working on-site at Honeywell
International, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, who are engaged in
employment related to facility maintenance and mailroom
services 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 Jones Lang Lasalle, Corporate Solutions
Division, working on-site at Honeywell International,
Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after October 29, 2008,
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the 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 5th day of January, 2010
