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 September 13, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Honeywell International Inc., Safety &
Productivity Solutions - Technical Support Job Function,
including on-site leased workers from PDS Tech, Smithfield,
Rhode Island. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of premium eyewear, goggles, and face
shields. The worker group on whose behalf the petition was
filed are the Technical Support Specialists within the Technical
Support Job Function. Workers supply technical assistance to
internal and external customers of the firm by identifying,
investigating, and resolving technical issues via email and
phone.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 the worker group
separations at Honeywell International Inc., Smithfield, Rhode
Island.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International Inc., Safety & Productivity Solutions -
Technical Support Job Function, including on-site leased
workers from PDS Tech, Smithfield, Rhode Island, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of technical
assistance to internal and external customers, 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 Honeywell International Inc., Safety &
Productivity Solutions - Technical Support Job Function,
including on-site leased workers from PDS Tech,
Smithfield, Rhode Island, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 12, 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 26th day of November 2019.
