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 March 31, 2010 on behalf of workers of Honeywell
International, Inc., Rock Island, Illinois. The workers produce
rubber boots.
The investigation revealed that workers of Honeywell
International, Inc., Rock Island, Illinois, who are engaged in
employment related to production of rubber boots, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of the
workers in the workers’ firm have become totally or partially
separated.
Criterion II has been met because Honeywell International,
Inc. has shifted production of rubber boots to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in production
to China contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the Rock Island, Illinois facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International, Inc., Rock Island, Illinois 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 Honeywell International, Inc., Automation
and Control Solutions Division, Rock Island, Illinois, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 29, 2009 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.”
