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 March 4, 2013 by a one-stop operator/partner on behalf
of workers of Johnson Controls Interior Manufacturing, LLC,
Automotive Electronics and Interiors, a division of Johnson
Controls, Inc., Louisville, Kentucky. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of plastic
injection molded automotive parts. The worker group includes
on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and Malone
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 articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Johnson Controls Interior Manufacturing, LLC.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson Controls
Interior Manufacturing, LLC, Automotive Electronics and
Interiors, a division of Johnson Controls, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Kelly Services and Malone Solutions,
Louisville, Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of plastic injection molded automotive parts
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 Johnson Controls Interior Manufacturing,
LLC, Automotive Electronics and Interiors, a division of
Johnson Controls, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Kelly Services and Malone Solutions, Louisville,
Kentucky, engaged in activities related to the production
of plastic injection molded automotive parts, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 1, 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 24th day of May, 2013.
