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 November 7, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Lumileds LLC, a subsidiary of Royal Philips,
Production and Marketing Departments, San Jose, California. The
subject worker group is inclusive of on-site leased workers
from Adecco, (herein known as "Lumileds LLC"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of light
emitting Dlode die, emitters and assemblies for application in
various lighting, applications in the illumination and
automotive markets and related services. For examples, indoor
lighting, emergency lighting, car tailgate lights.
The worker group was previously certified eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under petition
number TA-W-83,164. The certification expired on February 19,
2016. Workers of Adecco were not covered under the
aforementioned determination.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 Lumileds LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lumileds LLC, a
subsidiary of Royal Philips, Production and Marketing
Departments, including on-site leased workers from Adecco, San
Jose, California, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of light emitting Dlode die, emitters and assemblies
for application in various lighting, applications in the
illumination and automotive markets and related services 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 Lumileds LLC, a subsidiary of Royal
Philips, Production and Marketing Departments, San Jose,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 20, 2016 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;
AND,












All workers of Adecco, working on-site at Lumileds LLC, a
subsidiary of Royal Philips, Production and Marketing
Departments, San Jose, California (TA-W-92,397A), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 4, 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 24th day of February 2017.
