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 18, 2017 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Knight LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Fluid Management, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Select Staffing and Peak Technical Staffing, Irvine,
California ("Knight LLC"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the inspection, quality control, labor and
assembly of fluid and metering technologies.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Knight
LLC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Knight LLC, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Fluid Management, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Select Staffing and Peak Technical Staffing,
Irvine, California, who are engaged in activities related to the
inspection, quality control, labor and assembly of fluid and
metering technologies 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 Knight LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Fluid Management, Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Select Staffing and Peak Technical Staffing, Irvine,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 16, 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 18th day of December 2017.
