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 November 5, 2010 on behalf of the workers of Eaton
Corporation, Industrial Controls Division, including on-site
leased workers from Manpower Professionals, Clayton, North
Carolina (Eaton). The workers are engaged in employment related
to the supply of engineering support services and are not
separately identifiable by service supplied.
The investigation revealed that workers of Eaton, who
supply engineering support services, meet the following criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at Eaton was totally or partially
separated, or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because Eaton has shifted to a
foreign country the supply of engineering support services (or
like or directly competitive services).
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to Mexico contributed importantly to worker separations at
Eaton Corporation, Industrial Controls Division, Clayton, North
Carolina.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton Corporation,
Industrial Controls Division, including on-site leased workers
from Manpower Professionals, Clayton, North Carolina, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of engineering
support 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 Eaton Corporation, Industrial Controls
Division, including on-site leased workers from Manpower
Professionals, Clayton, North Carolina, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after November
2, 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 19th day of November, 2010
