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 May 16, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Cooper Bussmann/Sure Power Industries, including
workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported
through Sure Power Industries, Tualatin, Oregon. The worker
group, herein known as Cooper Bussmann/Sure Power Industries,
also consists of on-site leased workers from Aerotek. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of electrical products (i.e. power conversion and
power distribution products).
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 articles
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Cooper Bussmann/Sure Power
Industries.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cooper
Bussmann/Sure Power Industries, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, including workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages were reported through Sure Power
Industries, Tualatin, Oregon, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of electrical products (i.e. power
conversion and power distribution 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 Cooper Bussmann/Sure Power Industries,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, including
workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were
reported through Sure Power Industries, Tualatin, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 15, 2011, 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 22nd day of June, 2012.
