ENERGIZER
ONE WORKER REPORTING TO THE WESTLAKE FACILITY LOCATED IN
MARIETTA, OHIO

Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on July 25, 2013, applicable to workers
from Energizer, including on-site leased workers from Adecco,
Westlake, Ohio. The Department’s Notice of Determination was
published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2013 (78 FR
49293).

At the request of a State Workforce Official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The workers’ firm is engaged in the production of batteries.

The investigation confirmed that one worker in the Marietta,
Ohio facility reports to the Westlake, Ohio facility. Her
total or partial separation or threat of total or partial
separation is attributable to the same shift in production
to a foreign country that was the basis for the original
certification.

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include one worker reporting to the Westlake
facility located in Marietta, Ohio.

The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,778 is hereby issued
as follows:

“All workers of Energizer, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Westlake, Ohio (TA-W-82,778) and Energizer,
One worker reporting to the Westlake facility located in
Marietta, Ohio (TA-W-82,778A) who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 3, 2012 through
July 25, 2015, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through July 25, 2015, 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 15th day of April, 2015.

TA-W-82,778

ENERGIZER
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM ADECCO
WESTLAKE, OHIO

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 June 4, 2013 by the State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Energizer, Westlake, Ohio. The workers' firm is
engaged in production of batteries.
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 batteries, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Westlake, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Energizer, Westlake,
Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to research and
development 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 Energizer, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco, Westlake, Ohio, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 3,
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 25th day of July, 2013.
