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 February 16, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Emerson Network Power, Energy Systems, LaGrange,
Georgia (Emerson Network Power). The workers are engaged in
activities related to the production of metal cabinet
enclosures. The workers are not separately identifiable by
product. The worker group also includes on-site leased workers
from Express Employment Professionals, Kelly Services, MAU and
Aerotek.
The investigation revealed that workers of Emerson Network
Power who are engaged in activities related to the production
of metal cabinet enclosures meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the 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 metal cabinet enclosures by Emerson
Network Power to Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
of metal cabinet enclosures by Emerson Network Power to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Emerson
Network Power.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Emerson Network
Power, Energy Systems, including on-site leased workers from
Express Employment Professionals, Kelly Services, MAU and
Aerotek, LaGrange, Georgia, who are engaged in employment
related to production of metal cabinet enclosures, 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 Network Power, Energy Systems,
including on-site leased workers from Express Employment
Professionals, Kelly Services, MAU and Aerotek, LaGrange,
Georgia, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 27, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 27th day of April, 2010
