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 29, 2019 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP, formerly known as
SimplexGrinnell, Service Request Resolution Department, a
subsidiary of Johnson Controls, including on-site leased
workers from Agile 1, Westminster, Massachusetts. The workers
of this investigation are engaged in activities related to the
supply of order entry and billing services.
The worker group is separate from the worker group covered
under petition number TA-W-93,598 - within the Order to Cash
(OTC) Group to which the Service Request Resolution Department
is a subset of.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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 supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP, Service
Request Resolution Department, Westminster, Massachusetts.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson Controls Fire
Protection LP, formerly known as SimplexGrinnell, Service
Request Resolution Department, a subsidiary of Johnson
Controls, including on-site leased workers from Agile 1,
Westminster, Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of order entry and billing services, 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 Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP,
formerly known as SimplexGrinnell, Service Request
Resolution Department, a subsidiary of Johnson Controls,
including on-site leased workers from Agile 1,
Westminster, Massachusetts, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 28, 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 March 2020.
