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 August 16, 2016 by a company official on behalf of
workers of GE Power Chattanooga Turbines, formerly known as
Alstom Power Turbomachines LLC, a subsidiary of General
Electric Company, Chattanooga, Tennessee (herein referred to
as "GE Power Chattanooga Turbines"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of turbines for
the power industry. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Kelly OCG, Talascend, and Randstad.
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 GE Power Chattanooga Turbines.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of GE Power Chattanooga
Turbines, formerly known as Alstom Power Turbomachines LLC, a
subsidiary of General Electric Company, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly OCG, Talascend, and Randstad,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of turbines for the power industry 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 GE Power Chattanooga Turbines, formerly
known as Alstom Power Turbomachines LLC, a subsidiary of
General Electric Company, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly OCG, Talascend, and Randstad,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 16, 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 8th day of September 2016.
