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 April 5, 2019 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Industrial Harness Company, Inc.,
a subsidiary of Electrical Components International, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Axiom Staffing Group,
Anchor Staffing, and Randstad Staffing, Shippensburg,
Pennsylvania. The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of wire harnesses and cable assemblies.
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 articles
like or directly competitive with the wire harnesses and cable
assemblies produced by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Industrial Harness
Company, Inc., Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Industrial Harness
Company, Inc., Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of wire harnesses and cable
assemblies, 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 Industrial Harness Company, Inc., a
subsidiary of Electrical Components International, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Axiom Staffing
Group, Anchor Staffing, and Randstad Staffing, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
April 4, 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 24th day of May 2019.
