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 3, 2018 by a company official on behalf of workers
of Hubbell Lighting Hudson, a subsidiary of Hubbell Lighting,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hubbell Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Hudson Staffing and Express
Employment, Hudson, Wisconsin (Hubbell Lighting Hudson) is the
subject of this investigation. The subject worker group is
engaged in activities related to the manufacturing of
commercial and industrial lighting fixtures.
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 Hubbell Lighting Hudson.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hubbell Lighting
Hudson, a subsidiary of Hubbell Lighting, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hubbell Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Hudson Staffing and Express Employment, Hudson, Wisconsin
who are engaged in activities related to the manufacturing of
commercial and industrial lighting fixtures, 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 Hubbell Lighting Hudson, a subsidiary of
Hubbell Lighting, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hubbell Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Hudson Staffing and Express Employment, Hudson, Wisconsin,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 3, 2017 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 8th day of June 2018.
