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 April 18, 2016 by the International Chemical Workers
Union Council (ICWUC), Local 0617C on behalf of workers of
Danville Works, Fluorine Products, Danville Site, a subsidiary
of Honeywell International, Danville, Illinois (herein known
as "Danville Workers"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of packaging services of
chemical produced by the firm. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Danville Works.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Danville Works,
Fluorine Products, Danville Site, a subsidiary of Honeywell
International, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Danville, Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of packaging services of chemicals produced by the firm
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 Danville Works, Fluorine Products,
Danville Site, a subsidiary of Honeywell International,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Danville,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after April 18, 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 26th day of January 2017.
