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 October 12, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Volt and Eastridge, Vista,
California (herein referred to as "Zodiac"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of pool
cleaners and equipment. Workers from the subject firm are not
separately identifiable by article produced.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Worker of Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Vista, California were previously
certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
benefits under TA-W-91,286 which was certified May 16, 2016 and
expired May 16, 2018. This certification did not include lease
worker from Volt and Eastridge.
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Zodiac.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Zodiac Pool Systems
LLC, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Vista,
California (TA-W-94,228), and workers from Volt and Eastridge,
working on-site at Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, Vista, California
(TA-W-94,228A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of pool cleaners and equipment 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 Pool Systems LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Vista, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 17, 2018 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."
AND
"All workers of Volt and Eastridge, working on-site at
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, Vista, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 11, 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 1st day of November 2018.
