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 February 29, 2016 by three workers on behalf of
workers of Eaton Gainesboro, Industrial Sector, Hydraulics
Group, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Acro Service Corporation, Mindlance,
ManpowerGroup, Axelon Services Corporation, Adecco USA, Inc.,
and Infotree Service Inc., Gainesboro, Tennessee (herein
referred to as "Eaton Gainesboro"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of hydraulic
fittings and adapters made of brass and steel.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioners and 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 Eaton Gainesboro.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton Gainesboro,
Industrial Sector, Hydraulics Group, a subsidiary of Eaton
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from Acro
Service Corporation, Mindlance, ManpowerGroup, Axelon Services
Corporation, Adecco USA, Inc., and Infotree Service Inc.,
Gainesboro, Tennessee, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of hydraulic fittings and adapters made of brass
and steel 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 Gainesboro, Industrial Sector,
Hydraulics Group, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from Acro Service
Corporation, Mindlance, ManpowerGroup, Axelon Services
Corporation, Adecco USA, Inc., and Infotree Service Inc.,
Gainesboro, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 22, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 14th day of September 2016.
