EMERSON TRANSPORTATION DIVISION
A DIVISION OF EMERSON ELECTRIC
INCLUDING WORKERS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
BRIDGETON, MISSOURI
Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on November 19, 2010, applicable to workers of
Emerson Transportation Division, a division of Emerson
Electric, Bridgeton, Missouri. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 16, 2010 (75 FR 75701).
At the request of a State of Arkansas agent, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of Emerson Transportation
Division. The workers supply distribution services.
Information shows that some workers separated from
employment at Emerson Transportation Division lived throughout
the United States, including Arkansas, but report to the
Bridgeton, Missouri facility due to the nature of the services
supplied (transportation services).
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Emerson Transportation Division who are
adversely affected secondary workers.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-74,525 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Emerson Transportation Division, a
division of Emerson Electric, including workers
located throughout the United States, Bridgeton,
Missouri, who supply transportation services and who
became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 10, 2009 through November 19, 2012,
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.”

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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;
II. the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production
is related to the article or service that was the basis
for such certification; and
III. either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component parts
it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers’ separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term “Supplier“ as “a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or in the supply of
services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222
of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other firm.“
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 16, 2010 on behalf of workers of Emerson
Transportation Division, a division of Emerson Electric,
Bridgeton, Missouri. The workers supply distribution services to
Therm-O-Disc, Inc., a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Company,
Mansfield, Ohio. Workers of Therm-O-Disc, Inc. produce disc
thermometers, electric water heater thermostats, and motor
protectors, and are covered by certification number TA-W-72,040
issued on May 4, 2010.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Therm-O-Disc,
Inc., a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Company, Mansfield, Ohio
produced component parts that were directly supplied to a firm
with a TAA-certified worker group, and the components supplied
were related to the production of articles that were the basis
for the TAA certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business by
Therm-O-Disc, Inc. a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Company,
Mansfield, Ohio with the TAA-certified firm, with respect to disc
thermometers, electric water heater thermostats, and motor
protectors sold to the TAA-certified firm, contributed
importantly to worker separations at Emerson Transportation
Division, a division of Emerson Electric, Bridgeton, Missouri.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Emerson Transportation
Division, a division of Emerson Electric, Bridgeton, Missouri,
who are engaged in employment related to distribution 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 Emerson Transportation Division, a division
of Emerson Electric, Bridgeton, Missouri, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after August 10,
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.”
