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 August 6, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Honeywell Smithfield (RI13), Honeywell International, Inc.,
Safety and Productivity Solutions Division, Smithfield, Rhode
Island (Honeywell Smithfield). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of customer services to
include: finance, human resources, retail, logistics and
planning, engineering, and IT services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
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 a portion of the supply of
a service like or directly competitive with the services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Honeywell Smithfield.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell Smithfield
(RI13), Honeywell International, Inc., Safety and Productivity
Solutions Division, Smithfield, Rhode Island, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of customer 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 Honeywell Smithfield (RI13), Honeywell
International, Inc., Safety and Productivity Solutions
Division, Smithfield, Rhode Island, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August 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 4th day of September 2018.
