INVENSYS OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM CDI CORPORATION
FOXBORO, MASSACHUSETTS

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 14, 2012 by a One Stop Operator on behalf of
workers of Invensys Operations Management, a subsidiary of Invensys
PLC, including on-site leased workers from CDI Corporation,
Foxboro, Massachusetts (Invensys). The subject firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of control systems for the oil
and gas industries.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Invensys 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 control systems produced by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Invensys.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Invensys Operations
Management, Foxboro, Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of control 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 Invensys Operations Management, a subsidiary
of Invensys PLC, including on-site leased workers from CDI
Corporation, Foxboro, Massachusetts, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 13,
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."
