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 18, 2017 on behalf of workers of Philips
Electronics N.A. Corporation, Philips Medical Refurbished
Systems Cleveland Division, a subsidiary of Koninklijke
Philips N.V., Cleveland, Ohio (Philips Electronics N.A.
Corporation). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of refurbished CT, MR and surgery X-
ray medical imaging systems (medical imaging systems). The
worker groups are separately identifiable by articles produced.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Randstad Sourceright.
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 Philips Electronics N.A.
Corporation 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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Philips Electronics N.A. Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Philips Electronics
N.A. Corporation, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of medical imaging 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 Philips Electronics N.A. Corporation,
Philips Medical Refurbished Systems Cleveland Division, a
subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips N.V., including on-site
leased workers from Randstad Sourceright, Cleveland, Ohio,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 15, 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 5th day of October 2017.
