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 August 6, 2019, by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Climate Control, Inc., a subsidiary Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd., Franklin, Indiana
(Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Climate Control). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
compressors for automobile air conditioning units.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Crown
Services Inc. and Gardaworld Security Services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Climate Control 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 the production of a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the articles produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Climate Control.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Climate Control, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of compressors, 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 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Climate
Control, Inc., a subsidiary Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Thermal Systems, Ltd., including on-site leased workers
from Crown Services Inc. and Gardaworld Security Services,
Franklin, Indiana, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 5, 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 16th day of August 2019.
