COOPER INTERCONNECT, LLC
A SUBSIDIARY OF EATON CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AEROTEK, ADECCO,
J&J STAFFING AND SUPERIOR TALENT RESOURCES
SALEM, NEW JERSEY

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 30, 2013, applicable to workers of
Cooper Interconnect, LLC, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation,
Salem, New Jersey, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Adecco and J&J Staffing. The Department’s notice of
determination was published in the Federal Register on August
27, 2013 (78 FR 52978).
At the request of a State Workforce Official, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers were engaged in production of electrical
connectors.
The State reports that workers leased from Superior Talent
Resources were employed on-site at the Salem, New Jersey
location of Cooper Interconnect, LLC. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Superior Talent
Resources working on-site at the Salem, New Jersey location of
Cooper Interconnect, LLC.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,920 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Cooper Interconnect, LLC, a subsidiary of
Eaton Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Adecco, J&J Staffing and Superior Talent Resources,
Salem, New Jersey, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 18, 2012, through July 30,
2015, and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on July 30, 2013 through
July 30, 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 30th day of January, 2014.

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 July 19, 2013 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Cooper Interconnect, LLC, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation,
Salem, New Jersey. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of electrical connectors. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Adecco and J&J
Staffing.
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 production of articles like or
directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Cooper Interconnect, LLC, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation,
Salem, New Jersey.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cooper Interconnect,
LLC, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation, Salem, New Jersey, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of electrical
connectors 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 Cooper Interconnect, LLC, a subsidiary of
Eaton Corporation, including on-site leased worker sfrom
Aerotek, Adecco and J&J Staffing, Salem, New Jersey, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 18, 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.”
