RECKITT BENCKISER LLC
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM GUIDANT GROUP,
LINK STAFFING, AND RALEYS SUPERIOR CLEANING
FORT WORTH, TEXAS

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 20, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Reckitt Benckiser, LLC, Fort Worth, Texas (Reckitt
Benckiser). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of over-the-counter medication. The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Guidant
Group, Link Staffing, and Raleys Superior Cleaning and
excludes on-site workers from Scientific Careers.
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 medication
produced by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Reckitt Benckiser.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained during the
investigation, I determine that workers of Reckitt Benckiser,
LLC, Fort Worth, Texas, who are engaged in activities related
to the production of over-the-counter medication, 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 Reckitt Benckiser, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Guidant Group, Link Staffing, and
Raleys Superior Cleaning, Fort Worth, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 19, 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 28th day of January, 2013
