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 29, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Schneider Electric, Global Supply Chain, North
America Division, Columbia, Missouri (Schneider Electric).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of molded case circuit breakers. The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from VOLT
Workforce Solutions.
The worker group, Schneider Electric, Global Supply
Chain, North America Division, including on-site leased
workers from VOLT Workforce Solutions, Columbia, Missouri, was
previously determined eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) benefits, under petition TA-W-73,592, which
expired on May 26, 2012.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Schneider Electric.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Schneider Electric,
Global Supply Chain, North America Division, including on-site
leased workers from VOLT Workforce Solutions, Columbia,
Missouri, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of molded case circuit breakers 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, Global Supply Chain,
North America Division, including on-site leased workers
from VOLT Workforce Solutions, Columbia, Missouri, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 27, 2012 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 8th day of March, 2013.
