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 October 21, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Eaton, formerly known as Cooper U.S., Inc., Bussman
Division, including on-site leased workers from McCain
Employment Services and MegaForce Staffing, Goldsboro, North
Carolina (TA-W-83,157) and leased workers from Adecco, working
on-site at Eaton, Goldsboro, North Carolina (TA-W-83,157A).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of midget fuses, vehicle electrical centers, molded
components and circuit breakers.
Workers of Eaton, formerly known as Cooper U.S., Inc.,
Bussman Division, including on-site leased workers from McCain
Employment Services and MegaForce Staffing, Goldsboro, North
Carolina (TA-W-83,157) were previously certified under
petition TA-W-80,535 that expired on December 9, 2013. Leased
workers from Adecco, working on-site at Eaton, Goldsboro,
North Carolina (TA-W-83,157A) were not covered by that
certification.
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 Eaton.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton, formerly known
as Cooper U.S., Inc., Bussman Division, including on-site leased
workers from McCain Employment Services and MegaForce Staffing,
Goldsboro, North Carolina (TA-W-83,157) and leased workers from
Adecco, working on-site at Eaton, Goldsboro, North Carolina (TA-
W-83,157A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of midget fuses, vehicle electrical centers, molded
components and circuit breakers 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 certifications:
"All workers of Eaton, formerly known as Cooper U.S., Inc.,
Bussman Division, including on-site leased workers from
McCain Employment Services and MegaForce Staffing,
Goldsboro, North Carolina (TA-W-83,157), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December
10, 2013, 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."
AND
"All leased workers from Adecco, working on-site at Eaton,
Goldsboro, North Carolina (TA-W-83,157A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 20, 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 6th day of January, 2014.
