SECURE POWER: COOLING DIVISION
A SUBSIDIARY OF SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC CORPORATION
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM VOLT MANAGEMENT
O'FALLON, MISSOURI

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 14, 2020, by an American Job Center on behalf
of workers of Schneider Electric IT Corporate, Secure Power:
Cooling division, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from VOLT
Management, O'Fallon, Missouri. The worker group on whose
behalf the petition was filed concerns workers within the Secure
Power: Cooling division. Workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of designing highly technical HVAC
products for cooling the environment for data center
applications.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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)(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 the worker group
separations at Schneider Electric IT Corporate, O'Fallon,
Missouri.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Schneider Electric IT
Corporate, Secure Power: Cooling division, a subsidiary of
Schneider Electric Corporation, including on-site leased workers
from VOLT Management, O'Fallon, Missouri, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of designing highly technical
HVAC products, 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 Schneider Electric IT Corporate, Secure
Power: Cooling division, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from VOLT
Management, O'Fallon, Missouri, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February
13, 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 9th day of April 2020.
