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 May 8, 2019 by an American Job Center on behalf of
workers and former workers of Honeywell International Inc.,
Safety & Productivity Solutions Division, Galena, Illinois
(Honeywell International-SPS). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production of limit switches,
primarily used for emergency stop switches and power cut-off
switches. The worker group is not separately identifiable by
articles produced by the firm.
The subject worker group (Honeywell International-SPS)
includes on-site leased workers from Co-Tech.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Honeywell International-
SPS 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 limit switches
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Honeywell International-SPS.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International-SPS, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of limit switches, 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 G Honeywell International Inc., Safety &
Productivity Solutions Division, including on-site leased
workers from Co-Tech, Galena, Illinois, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after May 6,
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 28th day of May 2019.
