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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the firm
have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who received a
certification of eligibility under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply or production is
related to the article or service that was the basis for
such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 2, 2016 by an Other Authorized Representative on
behalf of workers of General Electric Company, GE Transportation
Division, including on-site leased workers from Adecco USA, TCS
(TATA), Chemetall US Inc., AVI, Carehere, Climatech Inc., G4S
Secure Solutions, OMH HealthEdge Holdings Inc., Phoenix LLC,
Simmers Crane, and Unitek Technical Services, 1503 West Main
Street and 660 Barkeyville Road, Grove City, Pennsylvania. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of diesel locomotive engines, diesel marine and stationary
engines.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because General Electric
Company is a Supplier to a firm that employed a group of workers
who received a certification of eligibility under Section 222(a)
of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply is related to
the production of marine and stationary drills, locomotives and
kits, Off Highway Vehicles (OHV) that was the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by General Electric Company with the firm that
employed a certified worker group contributed importantly to
worker separations at General Electric Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of General Electric
Company, GE Transportation Division, including on-site leased
workers from Adecco USA, TCS (TATA), Chemetall US Inc., AVI,
Carehere, Climatech Inc., G4S Secure Solutions, OMH HealthEdge
Holdings Inc., Phoenix LLC, Simmers Crane, and Unitek
Technical Services, 1503 West Main Street and 660 Barkeyville
Road, Grove City, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of diesel locomotive engines, diesel
marine and stationary engines meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(b) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:

"All workers of General Electric Company, GE
Transportation Division, including on-site leased workers
from Adecco USA, TCS (TATA), Chemetall US Inc., AVI,
Carehere, Climatech Inc., G4S Secure Solutions, OMH
HealthEdge Holdings Inc., Phoenix LLC, Simmers Crane, and
Unitek Technical Services, 1503 West Main Street and 660
Barkeyville Road, Grove City, Pennsylvania, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 1, 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 22nd day of April 2016.
