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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 26, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of InterMetro Industries Corporation, a subsidiary of
Emerson, Coatesville Facility Division, Coatesville,
Pennsylvania. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of medical carts, specifically
polymer medical carts.
The subject firm also leased workers from People Share and
Aerotek during the period under investigation.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at InterMetro Industries Corporation, a subsidiary
of Emerson, Coatesville Facility Division, Coatesville,
Pennsylvania.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of InterMetro Industries
Corporation, a subsidiary of Emerson, Coatesville Facility
Division, Coatesville, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of medical carts 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, Coatesville Facility Division,
Coatesville, Pennsylvania, including on-site leased workers
from People Share and Aerotek, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
23, 2010, through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on December 20, 2011
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 1st day of December, 2011.
