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 April 6, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation, Inc. and
Onity Inc., Supra and Onity Division, a subsidiary of Carrier
Global Corporation, Salem, Oregon ("UTC"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the production of key
management systems, mechanical key solutions, and electronic
locks.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at UTC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of UTC Fire & Security
Americas Corporation, Inc. and Onity Inc., Supra and Onity
division, a subsidiary of Carrier Global Corporation, Salem,
Oregon, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of key management systems, mechanical key solutions, and
electronic locks 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 UTC Fire & Security Americas Corporation,
Inc. and Onity Inc., Supra and Onity division, a
subsidiary of Carrier Global Corporation, Salem, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after April 3, 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 14th day of April 2020.
