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 May 19, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of OECO LLC, Meggitt Sensing Systems, a subsidiary of
Meggitt PLC, Milwaukie, Oregon (OECO-Meggitt Sensing Systems).
Workers of OECO-Meggitt Sensing Systems are engaged in
activities related to the production of highly engineered power
conversion, sensing, and power generation products for use in
the aerospace, defense, and energy markets. The subject worker
group (OECO-Meggitt Sensing Systems) includes on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, CDI Corp., Ultimate Staffing-A Roth
Company, and HR Answers, Inc.
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 OECO-Meggitt Sensing
Systems 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 subject workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at OECO-Meggitt Sensing Systems.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of OECO-Meggitt Sensing
Systems, 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 OECO LLC, Meggitt Sensing Systems, a
subsidiary of Meggitt PLC, including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, CDI Corp., Ultimate Staffing-A Roth
Company, and HR Answers, Inc., Milwaukie, Oregon, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 18, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 22nd day of July 2017.
