REGAL BELOIT AMERICA, INC.
A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF REGAL BELOIT CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM LUTTRELL STAFFING GROUP
ERWIN, TENNESSEE
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 November 22, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers and former workers of Regal Beloit America,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation,
Erwin, Tennessee (Regal Beloit-Erwin). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of sub-
fractional horsepower motors and plastic resin and metal motor
components. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Luttrell Staffing Group.
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 Regal Beloit-Erwin 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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the article(s)
produced by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Regal Beloit-Erwin.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Regal Beloit-Erwin,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of sub-
fractional horsepower motors and plastic resin and metal motor
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 Regal Beloit America, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Regal Beloit Corporation, including on-site
leased workers from Luttrell Staffing Group, Erwin,
Tennessee, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 21, 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 3rd day of January 2020.
