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 7, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Johnson Controls, Inc., Building Technologies &
Solutions division, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Johnson Controls International plc, Indianapolis, Indiana
("Johnson Controls, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the production and supply products,
services, and solutions to optimize energy and operational
efficiencies of buildings; integrated electronic security
systems, fire protection, detection and suppression systems.
The workers the subject of the investigation are engaged in
activities related to the supply of collections, billing, and
order validation services.
This worker group is different from the one covered under
petition number TA-W-93,937 - Johnson Controls, Inc., Finance
Department, Building Technologies & Solutions division, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls
International plc, Indianapolis, Indiana engaged in activities
related to the supply of financial analysis and reporting
services. This certification expires on September 4, 2020.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson Controls,
Inc., Building Technologies & Solutions division, an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls International plc,
Indianapolis, Indiana, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of collections, billing, and order validation
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, Inc., Building
Technologies & Solutions division, an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls International plc,
Indianapolis, Indiana engaged in activities related to the
supply of collections, billing, and order validation
services, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 4, 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.
