INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS

HUDSON, WISCONSIN
Amended 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 issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on February 15, 2012, applicable to workers and former
workers of Johnson Controls, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Valley Staffing, Hudson, Wisconsin (subject firm). The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on March 6, 2012 (77 FR 13354). The workers were engaged
in the production of automotive seating.
At the request of the State Workforce Office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
company reports that workers leased from AZ Quality were employed
on-site at the Hudson, Wisconsin location of Johnson Controls, Inc.
The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be considered
leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from AZ Quality working on-
site at the Hudson, Wisconsin location of Johnson Controls, Inc.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,067 is hereby issued
as follows:
"All workers of Johnson Controls, Inc., including on-site
leased workers of Valley Staffing and AZ Quality, Hudson,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 13, 2010, through
February 15, 2014, 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.”

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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;
(2) the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act,
19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is related
to the article or service that was the basis for such
certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to the
workers’ separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term “Supplier” as “a firm that produces and supplies directly to
another firm component parts for articles, or services used in the
production of articles or in the supply of services, as the case
may be, that were the basis for a certification of eligibility
under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of a group of
workers employed by such other firm.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 9, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers from Johnson Controls, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Valley Staffing, Hudson, Wisconsin. The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of seats for
pickup trucks.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Johnson Controls, Inc.
is a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to the article
that was the basis for such certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(A) has been met because the seats produced
by Johnson Controls, Inc. for the firm that employed a certified
worker group accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of Johnson Controls, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson Controls, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Valley Staffing, Hudson,
Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of seats meet the worker group certification criteria under Section
222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section
223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following
certification:
“All workers of Johnson Controls, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Valley Staffing, Hudson, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 13, 2010, 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.”
