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 February 19, 2019 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Omega Engineering, Inc., Electronics
Division, Santa Ana, California (herein referred to as "Omega
Engineering, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of electronic systems such as panel
meters, controllers, data loggers, and monitors. The subject
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Randstad US,
Andek Staffing Services, Aerotek, and Triad Systems
International. Newport Electronics, Inc. and Omegadyne, Inc.
were merged into Omega Engineering, Inc. in late 2013.
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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Omega
Engineering, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Omega Engineering,
Inc., Electronics Division, including on-site leased workers
from Randstad US, Andek Staffing Services, Aerotek, and Triad
Systems International, Santa Ana, California, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of electronic systems, such
as panel meters, controllers, data loggers, and monitors, 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 Omega Engineering, Inc., Electronics
Division, including on-site leased workers from Randstad
US, Andek Staffing Services, Aerotek, and Triad Systems
International, Santa Ana, California, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
12, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 14th day of April 2019.
