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 April 13, 2018 by a company official and union
official on behalf of workers of GE Distributed Power, Inc.
d/b/a Waukesha Gas Engines, a business unit of General
Electric Corporation, including workers whose wages were
reported under Dresser, Inc., Waukesha, Wisconsin (GE
Distributed Power, Inc.). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of gas-fueled engines,
generator sets, combined heat and power (CHP) modules, Organic
Rankine Cycle (OCR) systems, and auxiliaries ranging from 0.12
to 9.5 MW for industries from agriculture to oil and gas.
Workers at the subject firm are not separately identifiable by
article produced.
The worker group, then known as Dresser, Inc., d/b/a
Waukesha Gas Engines, a subdivision of General Electric
Corporation, Waukesha, Wisconsin was certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-W-
91,163. The certification expired on January 10, 2018,
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 GE Distributed Power, Inc..
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of GE Distributed Power,
Inc. d/b/a Waukesha Gas Engines, a business unit of General
Electric Corporation, including workers whose wages were
reported under Dresser, Inc., Waukesha, Wisconsin, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of gas-fueled
engines, generator sets, combined heat and power (CHP)
modules, Organic Rankine Cycle (OCR) systems, and auxiliaries
ranging from 0.12 to 9.5 MW for industries from agriculture to
oil and gas 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 Distributed Power, Inc. d/b/a Waukesha
Gas Engines, a business unit of General Electric
Corporation, including workers whose wages were reported
under Dresser, Inc., Waukesha, Wisconsin, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 11, 2018 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 10th day of May 2018.
