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 October 26, 2016 by the International Union of
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture
Workers - Communications Workers of America (IUE/CWA), Local
705, on behalf of workers of GE Dover Products Plant, a
subsidiary of GE Lighting, including workers whose wages are
reported under GE Lighting Inc., Dover, Ohio, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of fabricated metal
parts for internal lamp construction including molybdenum wire,
fabricated molybdenum parts, frames, supports and various other
metal components (TA-W-92,364); and Tungsten Products Plant, a
subsidiary of GE Lighting, including workers whose wages are
reported under GE Lighting Inc., Euclid, Ohio, who are engaged
in activities related to the production of sintered Tungsten
furnace parts, Molybdenum ingots, and Gaseous Hydrogen (TA-W-
92,364A) (herein referred to as "GE Lighting").
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 articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at GE
Lighting.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of GE Dover Products
Plant, a subsidiary of GE Lighting, including workers whose
wages are reported under GE Lighting Inc., Dover, Ohio, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of fabricated
metal parts for internal lamp construction including molybdenum
wire, fabricated molybdenum parts, frames, supports and various
other metal components (TA-W-92,364); and Tungsten Products
Plant, a subsidiary of GE Lighting, including workers whose
wages are reported under GE Lighting Inc., Euclid, Ohio, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of
sintered Tungsten furnace parts, Molybdenum ingots, and
Gaseous Hydrogen (TA-W-92,364A) 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 Dover Products Plant, a subsidiary of
GE Lighting, including workers whose wages are reported
under GE Lighting Inc., Dover, Ohio (TA-W-92,364) and
Tungsten Products Plant, a subsidiary of GE Lighting,
including workers whose wages are reported under GE
Lighting Inc., Euclid, Ohio (TA-W-92,364A), who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 25, 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 29th day of December 2016.
