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 June 26, 2015 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Getinge Sourcing, LLC, a subsidiary of Getinge AB,
including on-site leased workers from C1 Search and First
Consulting Inc., Rochester, New York. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of health care
sterilizers, operating room cabinets, warming cabinets, life
science sterilizers, life science washers, research
institutions and laboratories in the life science market,
sterilizers used for terminal sterilization of instruments,
cabs for storage, cabs for warming blankets and washers used
to wash containers; and cages used in life science research.
The workers of, Getinge Sourcing, LLC, a subsidiary of
Getinge AB, Rochester, New York were previously determined
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
benefits under petition TA-W-82,418 based on a shift in
production. That petition expired on February 20, 2015.
Workers of C1 Search and First Consulting Inc., were not
included in that certification.
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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Getinge Sourcing, LLC, a subsidiary of Getinge
AB, Rochester, New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Getinge Sourcing,
LLC, a subsidiary of Getinge AB, including on-site leased
workers from C1 Search and First Consulting Inc., Rochester,
New York, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of health care sterilizers, operating room cabinets,
warming cabinets, life science sterilizers, life science
washers, research institutions and laboratories in the life
science market, sterilizers used for terminal sterilization of
instruments, cabs for storage, cabs for warming blankets and
washers used to wash containers; and cages used in life
science research 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 Getinge Sourcing, LLC, a subsidiary of
Getinge AB, Rochester, New York (TA-W-86,132), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 21, 2015, 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 C1 Search and First Consulting Inc.,
working on-site at Getinge Sourcing, LLC, a subsidiary of
Getinge AB, Rochester, New York (TA-W-86,132A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 25, 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 20th day of August, 2015
