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 December 19, 2011 on behalf of workers of Bombardier
Transportation (Holdings) USA, Inc., Systems, LLE (Locomotive
& Rail Equipment), and RCS (Rail Control Systems) Divisions,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Bombardier). The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of automated
transit systems, converters and signaling systems.
Specifically, the affected workers provided accounting
functions, design and manufacture completed transit vehicles,
vehicle electrical harness assembly and vehicle automatic
train control equipment that go into the final transit vehicle
manufactured by the firm. The workers are not separately
identifiable. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Synergy Staffing, Emahizer LLC, Oxford
Solutions, Provil & Associates, Bailey Technical, Contract
Employment Services, and CDI Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioners.
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 articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Bombardier.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bombardier
Transportation (Holdings) USA, Inc., Systems, LLE (Locomotive
& Rail Equipment), and RCS (Rail Control Systems) Divisions,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco, Synergy Staffing,
Emahizer LLC, Oxford Solutions, Provil & Associates, Bailey
Technical, Contract Employment Services, and CDI Services,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of automated transit systems, converters and
signaling systems 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 Bombardier Transportation (Holdings) USA,
Inc., Systems, LLE (Locomotive & Rail Equipment), and RCS
(Rail Control Systems) Divisions, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco, Synergy Staffing, Emahizer LLC,
Oxford Solutions, Provil & Associates, Bailey Technical,
Contract Employment Services, and CDI Services,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 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.”
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 25th day of January, 2012.
