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 7, 2012, applicable to workers of
Schneider Electric, U.S.A., subsidiary of Schneider Electric, Power
Business Unit, Power Solutions Division, including on-site leased
workers from Volt Workforces Solutions, LaVergne, Tennessee. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production of
electric monitoring devices used for measuring and monitoring
electric consumption. The notice was published in the Federal
Register on February 28, 2012 (77 FR 12083).
At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New information
from the company shows that workers leased from Resource Tek were
employed on-site at the LaVergne, Tennessee location of Schneider
Electric, U.S.A., Power Business Unit, Power Solutions Division.
The Department has determined that these workers were sufficiently
under the control of Schneider Electric, U.S.A., Power Business
Unit, Power Solutions Division to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include all
workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a shift
in production to India. Based on these findings, the Department is
amending this certification to include workers leased from Resource
Tek working on-site at the LaVergne, Tennessee location of the
subject firm. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,250 is
hereby issued as follows:
"All workers from Schneider Electric, U.S.A., Subsidiary
of Schneider Electric, Power Business Unit, Power
Solutions Division, including on-site leased workers from
Volt Workforces Solutions and Resource Tek, LaVergne,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 13, 2010, through
February 7, 2014, 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 1074, 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(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 January 18, 2012 by a company official on behalf of workers of
Schneider Electric, U.S.A., Subsidiary of Schneider Electric, Power
Business Unit, Power Solutions Division, LaVergne, Tennessee (subject
firm). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of electric monitoring devices used for measuring and
monitoring electric consumption. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Volt Workforces Solutions.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm.
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 electric monitoring devices produced by
the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of the subject firm, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of electric monitoring devices,
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 Schneider Electric, U.S.A., Subsidiary of
Schneider Electric, Power Business Unit, Power Solutions
Division, including on-site leased workers from Volt Workforces
Solutions, LaVergne, Tennessee, 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.”
