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 June 1, 2018 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, a subsidiary of
Belden, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Adecco
Temporary Agency, Grass Valley, California (Grass Valley).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of order management, global logistics support, research and
development, marketing, and other administrative services.
Workers are not separately identifiable by service supplied.
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 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 supply of a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Grass Valley.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Grass Valley, a
Belden Brand, a subsidiary of Belden, Inc., including on-site
leased workers from Adecco Temporary Agency, Grass Valley,
California, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of order management, global logistics support, research and
development, marketing, and other administrative services 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 Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, a
subsidiary of Belden, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Adecco Temporary Agency, Grass Valley,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 31, 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.
