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 December 9, 2013 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Eaton Corporation, Cooper Power Systems division,
Pewaukee, Wisconsin. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and Adecco. The Pewaukee, Wisconsin
location is the headquarters for the Power Delivery Division
(PDD) of Cooper Power Systems.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of molded rubber products; electrical cable
accessories - for connecting electrical underground cables to
transformers, regulators, and switchgear.
Workers of Eaton Corporation, Cooper Power Systems
division, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Pewaukee, Wisconsin were certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under petition number TA-W-75,116.
That certification expired on March 11, 2013. The certification
did not cover leased workers from Adecco.
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 production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Eaton Corporation, Cooper Power Systems
division, Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton Corporation,
Cooper Power Systems division, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek and Adecco, Pewaukee, Wisconsin, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of molded rubber
products; electrical cable accessories - for connecting
electrical underground cables to transformers, regulators, and
switchgear 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 Eaton Corporation, Cooper Power Systems
division, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Pewaukee, Wisconsin (TA-W-83,274), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 12,
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 workers of Adecco, working on-site at Eaton
Corporation, Cooper Power Systems division, Pewaukee,
Wisconsin (TA-W-83,274A), who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 6, 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 24th day of January, 2014.
