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 January 13, 2011, by a company official on behalf of
workers of InterMetro Industries Corporation, a subsidiary of
Emerson Electric Corporation, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
(InterMetro). The workers are engaged in production of storage
and transport products such as wire products, carts and cabinets
for the food, health and commercial industries. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from OneSource Staffing and
Action Personnel.
The investigation revealed that the worker group meets the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the worker group were separated from InterMetro
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because InterMetro has shifted
to a foreign country the production of articles like or
directly competitive with the storage and transport products
produced by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production of storage and transport products to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
InterMetro, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of InterMetro Industries
Corporation, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, who were are engaged in
employment related to the production of storage and transport
products, 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 InterMetro Industries Corporation, a
subsidiary of Emerson Electric Corporation, including on-
site leased workers from OneSource Staffing and Action
Personnel, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
12, 2010, 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 9th day of February, 2011
