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 31, 2013 on behalf of workers of Clyde Union,
Inc., a SPX Power and Energy business unit, Battle Creek,
Michigan (Clyde Union-SPX). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of pumps and the supply of
aftermarket services for the oil & gas and water desalination
industries. The workers are not separately identifiable. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Aerotek, and Impact Solutions.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 product produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Clyde Union-SPX.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Clyde Union, Inc., a
SPX Power and Energy business unit, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Aerotek, and Impact Solutions, Battle
Creek, Michigan, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of pumps and the supply of aftermarket services for
the oil & gas and water desalination industries, 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 Clyde Union, Inc., a SPX Power and Energy
business unit, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Aerotek, and Impact Solutions, Battle Creek,
Michigan, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 22, 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 22nd day of November, 2013.
