INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM PDS TECH

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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on December 5, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Honeywell International Inc., Safety &
Productivity Solutions division, including workers whose wages
were reported through Sperian Protection USA, Inc. and Honeywell
Safety Products, USA Inc., including on-site leased workers from
PDS Tech, Smithfield, Rhode Island ("Honeywell International
Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of premium safety eyewear, goggles, and face
shields.
The workers within the Technical Support Job Function at
Smithfield, Rhode Island were recently certified eligible to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition number TA-
W-95,178, which expires on November 26, 2021. The worker group
supplies technical assistance to internal and external customers
of Honeywell and is a subset within the subject worker group, to
be excluded from the determination at hand.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, workers' firm, and the major
declining customer(s) of the 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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of premium safety eyewear, goggles, and face
shields by Honeywell International Inc. have decreased.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
article produced by Honeywell International Inc. have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Honeywell International Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Honeywell
International Inc., Safety & Productivity Solutions division,
including workers whose wages were reported under Sperian
Protection USA, Inc. and Honeywell Safety Products, USA Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from PDS Tech, Smithfield,
Rhode Island, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of premium safety eyewear, goggles, and face shields,
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 division, including workers whose
wages were reported through Sperian Protection USA, Inc.
and Honeywell Safety Products, USA Inc., including on-site
leased workers from PDS Tech, Smithfield, Rhode Island,
excluding workers within the Technical Support Job
Function (covered under petition number TA-W-95,178), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after December 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 9th day of April 2020.
