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 November 10, 2010, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., Bloomington,
Illinois. The workers supply corporate and administrative
services such as marketing, finance, sales, engineering,
purchasing, and logistics. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Spherion Recruiting and Staffing Excellence.
The investigation revealed that workers of Electrolux Home
Care Products, Inc., who are engaged in activities related to
corporate and administrative services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have become separated or are threatened to become
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of corporate
and administrative services by Electrolux Home Care Products,
Inc. contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the Bloomington, Illinois facility.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Electrolux Home Care
Products, Inc., Bloomington, Illinois, who are engaged in
activities related to corporate and administrative 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 Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Spherion Recruiting
and Staffing Excellence, Bloomington, Illinois, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
November 8, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 19th day of November, 2010
