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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on July 10, 2015 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Eaton Corporation, Watertown, Wisconsin. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The worker group also
encompasses on-site leased workers from The Bartech Group.
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
printed circuit boards like or directly competitive with the
printed circuit board produced by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Eaton Corporation,
Watertown, Wisconsin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from The Bartech Group,
Watertown, Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of printed circuit boards 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, including on-site leased
workers from The Bartech Group, Watertown, Wisconsin, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after January 1, 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 26th day of October 2015.
