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.
(iii)
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 7, 2018 by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of ITT Inc. Connect & Control Technologies,
ITT Cannon, LLC Division, a subsidiary of ITT Inc., Irvine,
California (ITT Inc. Connect & Control Technologies). The
subject worker group is engaged in the activities related to
the production of electrical connectors.
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 ITT Inc. Connect &
Control Technologies 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 articles
like or directly competitive with the electrical connectors
produced by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at ITT Inc. Connect & Control Technologies.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ITT Inc. Connect &
Control Technologies, ITT Cannon, LLC Division, a subsidiary
of ITT Inc., Irvine, California, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of electrical connectors, 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 ITT Inc. Connect & Control Technologies,
ITT Cannon, LLC Division, a subsidiary of ITT Inc.,
Irvine, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 6, 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 9th day of October 2018.
