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 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 October 20, 2010 on behalf of the workers of CR
Compressors, LLC, a division of Emerson Climate Technologies,
including on-site leased workers from Regal Employment, Inc.,
Hartselle, Alabama (CR Compressors, LLC). The workers are
engaged in employment related to the production of air
conditioning compressors and are not separately identifiable by
product line.
The petitioners allege that the shift in production to
Mexico and the increased production at the Mexican plant has
contributed importantly to the loss of jobs at the Hartselle,
Alabama facility.
The investigation revealed that workers of CR Compressors,
LLC, who are engaged in activities related to the production of
air conditioning compressors, meet the following criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at CR Compressors, LLC, has been totally
or partially separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because CR Compressors, LLC has
shifted the production of air conditioning compressors (or like
or directly competitive articles) to a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in
production to Mexico contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Hartselle, Alabama facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CR Compressors, LLC,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of air
conditioning compressors, 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 CR Compressors, LLC, a division of Emerson
Climate Technologies, including on-site leased workers from
Regal Employment, Inc., Hartselle, Alabama, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 1, 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 6th day of December, 2010
