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 November 13, 2015 applicable to workers
of Dresser, Inc., also known as Dresser Masoneilan, General
Electric Measurement and Control division, a sub-division of
General Electric – Oil & Gas, including on-site leased workers
from Kelly Services, NEED, OP Amp, Softek, Aerotek, and APN
Software Solutions, Avon, Massachusetts. The Department’s notice
of determination was published in the Federal Register on
January 11, 2016 (81 FR 1227).
At the request of the authorized representative of Global
Integrated Resources, Inc., the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers are
engaged in activities related to the production of industrial
control valves for oil, gas, severe service, nuclear
applications, and parts and components.
The company reports that workers leased from Global
Integrated Resources, Inc. were employed on-site at Dresser,
Inc., also known as Dresser Masoneilan, General Electric
Measurement and Control Division, a sub-division of General
Electric – Oil & Gas, Avon, Massachusetts. 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 Global Integrated
Resources, Inc., working on-site at Dresser, Inc., also known as
Dresser Masoneilan, General Electric Measurement and Control
Division, a sub-division of General Electric – Oil & Gas, Avon,
Massachusetts.

“All workers of Dresser, Inc., also known as Dresser
Masoneilan, General Electric Measurement and Control division,
a sub-division of General Electric - Oil & Gas, Avon,
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 9, 2015 through November 13, 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;
AND,
All workers of Kelly Services, NEED, Op Amp, Softek,
Aerotek, APN Software Solutions, and Global Integrated

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 August 27, 2015 by the International Union, United
Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW), Local 470 on behalf of workers of Dresser, Inc.,
also known as Dresser Masoneilan, General Electric Measurement
and Control division, a sub-division of General Electric - Oil
& Gas, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
NEED, Op Amp, Softek, Aerotek, and APN Software Solutions,
Avon, Massachusetts (herein known as "Dresser, Inc." or
"workers' firm"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of industrial control valves for oil,
gas, severe service, nuclear applications, and parts and
components.
The workers' firm was previously certified eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number
TA-W-82,693 which expired on May 8, 2015. Leased workers were
not named within the 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 partially 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 Dresser, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dresser, Inc., also
known as Dresser Masoneilan, General Electric Measurement and
Control division, a sub-division of General Electric - Oil &
Gas, including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
NEED, Op Amp, Softek, Aerotek, and APN Software Solutions,
Avon, Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of industrial control valves for oil, gas,
severe service, nuclear applications, and parts and components
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 Dresser, Inc., also known as Dresser
Masoneilan, General Electric Measurement and Control
division, a sub-division of General Electric - Oil & Gas,
Avon, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 9, 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 Kelly Services, NEED, Op Amp, Softek,
Aerotek, and APN Software Solutions, working on-site at
Dresser, Inc., also known as Dresser Masoneilan, General
Electric Measurement and Control division, a sub-division
of General Electric - Oil & Gas, Avon, Massachusetts, 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."
