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 January 13, 2020, by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Stanley Black & Decker Inc., Greenfield
Operations, including on-site leased workers from Morales Group
Inc., MBC Staffing, and Kelley Services, Greenfield, Indiana
(herein referred to as "Stanley Black & Decker Inc.").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of corded and cordless power tools.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Stanley Black and Decker
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 corded and cordless power
tools produced by the subject workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Stanley Black &
Decker Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Stanley Black &
Decker Inc., Greenfield Operations, including on-site leased
workers from Morales Group Inc., MBC Staffing, and Kelley
Services, Greenfield, Indiana, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of corded and cordless power tools,
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 Stanley Black & Decker Inc., Greenfield
Operations, including on-site leased workers from Morales
Group Inc., MBC Staffing, and Kelley Services, Greenfield,
Indiana who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after January 10, 2019 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 1st day of April 2020.
