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 15, 2015 on behalf of workers of Rexnord Industries,
LLC, Gear-Canal Street Division, Non-core Mill Products
Operation, a subsidiary of Rexnord, LLC, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
(Rexnord-Non-core Mill Products). Workers of Rexnord-Non-core
Mill Products are engaged in activities related to the supply of
foundry operation services.
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 Rexnord-Non-core Mill Products
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the foundry operation services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Rexnord-Non-core Mill Products.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rexnord-Non-core Mill
Products, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
foundry services, 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 Rexnord Industries, LLC, Gear-Canal Street
Division, Non-core Mill Products Operation, a subsidiary of
Rexnord, LLC, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 7, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 16th day of October, 2015
