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 May 6, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Veris Industries, a subsidiary of Schneider
Electric, USA, Tualatin, Oregon. The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the production of printed circuit
boards, CO2 Sensors duct/wall, CO sensor, NO2 sensor, humidity
sensor duct/ wall, differential/ electropneumatic,
ceiling/duct/immersion, enclosed/panel mount/DIN mount/solid
state, fixed trip/adjustable trip/DC Output or voltage
output+C4, solid core/split core, and branch circuit
monitors/multi circuit monitors/single circuit monitors. The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from KForce
Inc., Express Services Inc., Accountemps, Aerotek, and Volt
Consulting Group, Ltd.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and 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 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 Veris Industries, a subsidiary Of Schneider
Electric, USA, Tualatin, Oregon.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Veris Industries, a
subsidiary of Schneider Electric, USA, including on-site leased
workers from KForce Inc., Express Services Inc., Accountemps,
Aerotek, and Volt Consulting Group, Ltd., Tualatin, Oregon,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
printed circuit boards, CO2 Sensors duct/wall, CO sensor, NO2
sensor, humidity sensor duct/ wall, differential/
electropneumatic, ceiling/duct/immersion, enclosed/panel
mount/DIN mount/solid state, fixed trip/adjustable trip/DC
Output or voltage output+C4, solid core/split core, and branch
circuit monitors/multi circuit monitors/single circuit monitors
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 Veris Industries, a subsidiary of
Schneider Electric, USA, including on-site leased workers
from KForce Inc., Express Services Inc., Accountemps,
Aerotek, and Volt Consulting Group, Ltd., Tualatin,
Oregon, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 5, 2015 through two years from
the date of certification, and all workers in the group
