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 5, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Electrolux Home Products, Inc., North American Small
Appliances Division, Research and Development Function, 10200
David Taylor Drive, Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-82,779)
and Electrolux Home Products, Inc., North American Small
Appliances Division, Hutchinson McDonald Technical Center,
Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-82,779A). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of research and
development services in support of the firm's production of
floor care and small kitchen appliances. Both subject worker
groups includes on-site leased workers from Staffmasters and
Allsource.
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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Electrolux.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Electrolux Home
Products, Inc., North American Small Appliances Division,
Research and Development Function, 10200 David Taylor Drive,
including on-site leased workers from Staffmasters and
Allsource, Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-82,779) and
Electrolux Home Products, Inc., North American Small
Appliances Division, Hutchinson McDonald Technical Center,
including on-site leased workers from Staffmasters and
Allsource, Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-82,779A), who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of research and
development services in support of the firm's production of
floor care and small kitchen appliances 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 Electrolux Home Products, Inc., North
American Small Appliances Division, Research and
Development Function, 10200 David Taylor Drive, including
on-site leased workers from Staffmasters and Allsource,
Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-82,779) and Electrolux
Home Products, Inc., North American Small Appliances
Division, Hutchinson McDonald Technical Center, including
on-site leased workers from Staffmasters and Allsource,
Charlotte, North Carolina (TA-W-82,779A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 10, 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 1st day of July, 2013.
