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 April 28, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of General Electric Control Products, Morrison,
Illinois. This decision is limited to the workers of General
Electric Control Products, Fabricated Parts Group, Morrison,
Illinois (TA-W-74,010) and General Electric Control Products,
Motor Control Switch Group, Morrison, Illinois (TA-W-74,010A).
These workers are separately identifiable within the facility.
The investigation revealed that workers of General Electric
Control Products, Fabricated Parts Group, Morrison, Illinois
(TA-W-74,010) and General Electric Control Products, Motor
Control Switch Group, Morrison, Illinois (TA-W-74,010A), who are
engaged in employment related to the production of controls and
control components, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers in the aforementioned groups are threatened
with separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm is
shifting a substantial portion of production to a foreign
country of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by the Fabricated Parts Group and the Motor
Control Switch Group at the Morrison, Illinois facility.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Malaysia and China by General Electric Control
Products, Morrison, Illinois contributed importantly to
threatened workers separations within the aforementioned
groups.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Electric
Control Products, Fabricated Parts Group, Morrison, Illinois
(TA-W-74,010) and General Electric Control Products, Motor
Control Switch Group, Morrison, Illinois (TA-W-74,010A) 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 General Electric Control Products,
Fabricated Parts Group, Morrison, Illinois (TA-W-74,010)
and General Electric Control Products, Motor Control Switch
Group, Morrison, Illinois (TA-W-74,010A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
April 26, 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 16th day of July, 2010
