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 October 18, 2013, applicable to workers
of Honeywell, Aeronautics Division, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Manpower, NESCO and PDS Tech,
Strongsville, Ohio, The workers are engaged in employment
related to the supply of repair and overhaul services for
aircraft auxiliary electronic equipment. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on November 6, 2013 (78 FR
66782).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information from the company shows that workers leased from ICM
and CoreTech were employed on-site at the Strongsville, Ohio
location of Honeywell, Aeronautics Division. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the
control of Honeywell to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected as
secondary workers related to the supply of repair and overhaul
services for aircraft auxiliary electronic equipment.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from ICM and CoreTech
working on-site at the Strongsville, Ohio location of the
subject firm. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-82,927 is
hereby issued as follows:
"All workers from Honeywell, Aeronautics Division,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Manpower, NESCO, PDS Tech, ICM and CoreTech,
Strongsville, Ohio, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 16, 2012,
through October 18, 2015, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on October 18, 2013 through October 18,
2015, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance
under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974,
as 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 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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be satisfied if
the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in the
workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated;
(2) the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer to
a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and
(3) either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph (2)
accounted for at least 20 percent of the production or
sales of the workers’ firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly
to the workers’ separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term “Downstream Producer” as “a firm that performs additional,
value-added production processes or services directly for another
firm for articles or services with respect to which a group of
workers in such other firm has been certified under subsection (a)
[of Section 222 of the Act]” and defines the term “value-added
production processes or services” to “include final assembly,
finishing, testing, packaging, or maintenance or transportation
services.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 23, 2013 on behalf of workers of Honeywell,
Aeronautics Division, Strongsville, Ohio. The workers’ firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of repair and overhaul
services for aircraft auxiliary electronic equipment. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Manpower, NESCO
and PDS Tech.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and customer.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because workers of Honeywell,
Aeronautics Division, Strongsville, Ohio is a Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such service is related to the actual
finished article or service that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Honeywell, Aeronautics Division, Strongsville, Ohio
with the aforementioned firm contributed importantly to worker
separations at Honeywell, Aeronautics Division, Strongsville,
Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell, Aeronautics
Division, Strongsville, Ohio, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of repair and overhaul services for aircraft
auxiliary electronic equipment meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In
accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make
the followi
“All workers of Honeywell, Aeronautics Division, including
on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Manpower, NESCO and PDS
Tech, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 16, 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.”
