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 September 21, 2016 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Bruker Daltonics, Inc., a subsidiary of
Bruker Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Advantage Technical Resourcing, AKLU, Bay Shore Staffing, Beacon
Engineers, Clinlab Staffing, Davis Companies, GCR, KCR, McInTuff
Associates, and QRCC, Billerica, Massachusetts (Bruker). The
subject firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of mass spectrometer and analytical devices.
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 Bruker 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 articles like
or directly competitive with the mass spectrometer and analytical
devices produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Bruker.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bruker, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of mass spectrometer and
analytical devices, 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 Bruker Daltonics, Inc., a subsidiary of
Bruker Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
Advantage Technical Resourcing, AKLU, Bay Shore Staffing,
Beacon Engineers, Clinlab Staffing, Davis Companies, GCR,
KCR, McInTuff Associates, and QRCC, Billerica,
Massachusetts, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 20, 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 11th day of November 2016.
