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 April 17, 2013 by United Steelworkers (USW) Local 2332
on behalf of workers of Parker Hannifin Corporation, Hydraulic
Group, Gear Pump Division, Foundry Operating Unit, Youngstown,
Ohio (Parker Hannifin). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of cast iron parts used in
hydraulic gear pumps and valves.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 Parker Hannifin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Parker Hannifin
Corporation, Hydraulic Group, Gear Pump Division, Foundry
Operating Unit, Youngstown, Ohio, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of cast iron parts used in hydraulic
gear pumps and valves 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 Parker Hannifin Corporation, Gear Pump
Division, Foundry Operating Unit, Youngstown, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 11, 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 23rd day of May, 2013.
