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 June 22, 2010, by a New York One-Stop Operator on
behalf of workers of BAE Systems Platform Solutions, Electrical
and Mechanical Circuit Design Groups, Johnson City, New York.
The workers provided aviation platform design and engineering
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Superior Technical Resources, Aerotek, ENSCO, and RPQ
Technical Service.
The investigation revealed that workers of BAE Systems
Platform Solutions, Electrical and Mechanical Circuit Design
Groups, Johnson City, New York, who are engaged in employment
related to aviation platform design and engineering services,
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been totally or partially separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the design and engineering services supplied
by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services contributed importantly to worker group separations
at BAE Systems Platform Solutions, Johnson City, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BAE Systems Platform
Solutions, Electrical and Mechanical Circuit Design Groups,
Johnson City, New York, who are engaged in employment related to
aviation platform design and engineering 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 BAE Systems Platform Solutions, Electrical
and Mechanical Circuit Design Groups, including on-site
leased workers from Superior Technical Resources, Aerotek,
ENSCO, and RPQ Technical Service, Johnson City, New York,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after June 21, 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."
