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 July 6, 2016 by International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace (IAM&AW) on behalf of workers of
Dresser, Inc., a subsidiary of General Electric Oil & Gas,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Temporary
Services, YOH Exchange, and Securitas, Pineville, Louisiana
(herein referred to as "Dresser, Inc."). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of pressure
operated safety relief valves (POSRV) for oil, gas, severe
service and nuclear applications.
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 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., a
subsidiary of General Electric Oil & Gas, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Temporary Services, YOH Exchange,
and Securitas, Pineville, Louisiana, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of pressure operated safety
relief valves (POSRV) for oil, gas, severe service and nuclear
applications 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., a subsidiary of General
Electric Oil & Gas, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Temporary Services, YOH Exchange, and Securitas,
Pineville, Louisiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 5, 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 21st day of July 2016.
