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 7, 2018, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Zodiac Electrical Inserts USA, Zodiac Electrical
Inserts (ZEIU) Reporting Unit, a subsidiary of Zodiac
Aerospace, including on-site leased workers from Kelly
Services, People to People, and Helpmates, Huntington Beach,
California (Zodiac Electrical Inserts USA). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of air
chillers, beverage chillers, trash compactors and ovens, for
incorporation into the galley of an aircraft cabin.
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 Zodiac Electrical Inserts USA.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Zodiac Electrical
Inserts USA, Zodiac Electrical Inserts (ZEIU) Reporting Unit,
a subsidiary of Zodiac Aerospace, including on-site leased
workers from Kelly Services, People to People, and Helpmates,
Huntington Beach, California, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of air chillers, beverage chillers,
trash compactors and ovens, 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 Zodiac Electrical Inserts USA, Zodiac
Electrical Inserts (ZEIU) Reporting Unit, a subsidiary of
Zodiac Aerospace, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, People to People, and Helpmates,
Huntington Beach, 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."
