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 July 12, 2019, by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Eaton Corporation, Vehicle Group North America,
including on-site leased workers from Bartech; Midwest
Janitorial Service, Inc.; Houghton International Inc.;
Securitas Inc.; Fastenal Company; and Advanced Technology
Services, Inc. (ATS), Belmond, Iowa ("Eaton Belmond"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of class 8 and off road heavy duty engine valves.
The worker group was certified eligible to apply for
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under petition number TA-W-
92,116, which expired on February 1, 2019. Leasing firms
Midwest Janitorial Service, Inc.; Houghton; Securitas;
Fastenal; and Advanced Technology Services, Inc. (ATS) were
not named.
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 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 an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Eaton Belmond.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton Corporation,
Vehicle Group North America, including on-site leased workers
from Bartech; Midwest Janitorial Service, Inc.; Houghton
International Inc.; Securitas Inc.; Fastenal Company; and
Advanced Technology Services, Inc. (ATS), Belmond, Iowa, who
are engaged in activities related to the production of class 8
and off road heavy duty engine valves 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 Eaton Corporation, Vehicle Group North
America, including on-site leased workers from Bartech,
Belmond, Iowa, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 2, 2019, 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 Midwest Janitorial Service, Inc.; Houghton
International Inc.; Securitas Inc.; Fastenal Company; and
Advanced Technology Services, Inc. (ATS), working on-site
at Eaton Corporation, Vehicle Group North America,
Belmond, Iowa, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 11, 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 30th day of July 2019.
