HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
SAFETY & PRODUCTIVITY SOLUTIONS-TECHNICAL
SUPPORT JOB FUNCTION
A SUBSIDIARY OF HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM CORTECH
FRANKLIN, PENNSYLVANIA
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 24, 2019, by three workers on behalf of
workers of Honeywell Safety Products, Safety & Productivity
Solutions-Technical Support Job Function, a subsidiary of
Honeywell International Inc., including on-site leased workers
from CorTech, Franklin, Pennsylvania. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of harnesses,
lanyards, anchors, ropes, cables, shock absorbing attachments,
and tie-off railings. 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 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 petitioners 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 Safety Products, Franklin,
Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell Safety
Products, Safety & Productivity Solutions-Technical Support
Job Function, a subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from CorTech, Franklin,
Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of technical assistance to external customers of the
firm, 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 Safety Products, Safety &
Productivity Solutions-Technical Support Job Function, a
subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., including on-
site leased workers from CorTech, Franklin, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 23, 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 November 2019.
