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 22, 2018 by a company official on behalf of
workers of TE Connectivity, Budd Lake, New Jersey ("TE
Connectivity"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of LVDT signal conditioners position
sensors-wind turbines, automotive brake sensors, pressure and
temperature. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Express Pros, Kelly Services, and Entegee/E91.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 TE Connectivity.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TE Connectivity,
including on-site leased workers from Express Pros, Kelly
Services, and Entegee/E91, Budd Lake, New Jersey, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of LVDT signal
conditioners position sensors-wind turbines, automotive brake
sensors, pressure and temperature 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 TE Connectivity, including on-site leased
workers from Express Pros, Kelly Services, and
Entegee/E91, Budd Lake, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 21,
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 2nd day of July 2018.
