INNIO WAUKESHA GAS ENGINES INC.
WAUKESHA, WISCONSIN
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 February 11, 2020 by a company official on behalf of
workers and former workers of Innio Waukesha Gas Engines Inc.,
Waukesha, Wisconsin (Waukesha Gas Engines). Workers of Waukesha
Gas Engines are engaged in activities related to the production
of natural gas-fueled engines. Workers are eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance under TA-W-93,718
(certification issued on May 10, 2018).
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Waukesha Gas Engines 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 natural gas-fueled
engines produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Waukesha Gas Engines.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Waukesha Gas Engines,
who are engaged in activities related to the production of
natural gas-fueled engines, 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 Innio Waukesha Gas Engines Inc., Waukesha,
Wisconsin, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 11, 2020, 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 12th day of November 2020.
