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 October 4, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Rohr, Inc., Collins Aerospace division, a
subsidiary of United Technologies Inc., including on-site leased
workers from ADECCO; Randstad Professionals US, LP; PDS Tech,
Inc.; Butler America Aerospace LLC; Aerotek, Inc.; Apollo
Professional Solutions; Inconen Corporation; LAUNCH Technical
Workforce; Quest Engineering; Butler America Aerospace LLC; Tech
Mahindra Limited; HCL America Inc.; IBASET; Axon Puerto Rico
Inc.; Data Based Development; and Rapid Global Business
Solutions, Inc., Chula Vista, California (hereafter referred to
as "Rohr, Inc.")
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of aircraft parts and components.
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 at Rohr, Inc. 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 articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Rohr, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rohr, Inc., Collins
Aerospace division, a subsidiary of United Technologies Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from ADECCO; Randstad
Professionals US, LP; PDS Tech, Inc.; Butler America Aerospace
LLC; Aerotek, Inc.; Apollo Professional Solutions; Inconen
Corporation; LAUNCH Technical Workforce; Quest Engineering;
Butler America Aerospace LLC; Tech Mahindra Limited; HCL America
Inc.; IBASET; Axon Puerto Rico Inc.; Data Based Development; and
Rapid Global Business Solutions, Inc., Chula Vista, California,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
aircraft parts and components 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 Rohr, Inc., Collins Aerospace division, a
subsidiary of United Technologies Inc., including on-site
leased workers from ADECCO; Randstad Professionals US, LP;
PDS Tech, Inc.; Butler America Aerospace LLC; Aerotek,
Inc.; Apollo Professional Solutions; Inconen Corporation;

separated from employment on or after October 3, 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
