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 March 10, 2020 by a company official on behalf of workers
and former workers of Eaton Hydraulics LLC, Power Motion Control
Division, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation, Shawnee, Oklahoma
(Eaton Hydraulics-Power Motion Control Division). Workers of
Eaton Hydraulics-Power Motion Control Division are engaged in
activities related to the production of hydraulic motors. The
workers are not separately identifiable by article produced.
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 Eaton Hydraulics-Power Motion
Control Division 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 articles produced by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Eaton Hydraulics-Power Motion Control Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Eaton Hydraulics-Power
Motion Control Division, who are engaged in activities related to
the production of hydraulic motors, 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 Eaton Hydraulics LLC, Power Motion Control
Division, a subsidiary of Eaton Corporation, Shawnee,
Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 5, 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.
