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 29, 2015, applicable to workers and former
workers of Cooper Power Systems, Power Delivery Division, an
Eaton Corporation Company, formerly Cooper Industries, including
on-site leased workers from Manpower, Tec Staffing, Infotree
Services, Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Department’s Notice of
determination was published in the Federal Register on September
22, 2015 (80 FR 57219).
At the request of State of Arkansas, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. Workers from
Advantage Resourcing were employed on-site at the Fayetteville,
Arkansas location of the subject firm. 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 Advantage Resourcing
working on-site at the Fayetteville, Arkansas location of Cooper
Power Systems.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-86,004 is hereby issued
as follows:
“All workers of Cooper Power Systems, Power Delivery
Division, an Eaton Corporation Company, formerly Cooper
Industries, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Tec Staffing, Infotree Services, and Advantage Resourcing,
Fayetteville, Arkansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 8, 2014, through
July 29, 2017, 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.”

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 May 11, 2015 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of Cooper Power Systems, Power Delivery Division, an
Eaton Corporation Company, formerly Cooper Industries,
Fayetteville, Arkansas (Cooper Power Systems). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
tools, connectors, and maintenance equipment. The workers are
not separately identifiable by article produced. The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower, Tec
Staffing, and Infotree Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Cooper Power Systems.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cooper Power Systems,
Power Delivery Division, Fayetteville, Arkansas, 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 Power Systems, Power Delivery
Division, an Eaton Corporation Company, formerly Cooper
Industries, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Tec Staffing, and Infotree Services,
Fayetteville, Arkansas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 8, 2014, 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."
