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 May 4, 2020, by a union official for the USW Local 3199-
19, on behalf of workers of Zurn Industries, LLC, a subsidiary
of Rexnord-Zurn Holdings, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Rexnord
LLC, 1801 Pittsburgh Avenue, Erie, Pennsylvania (TA-W-95,908),
and Zurn Industries, LLC, a subsidiary of Rexnord-Zurn Holdings,
Inc., which is a subsidiary of Rexnord LLC, 1302 Raspberry
Street, Erie, Pennsylvania (TA-W-95,908A). The workers' firm at
Raspberry Street is engaged in activities related to machining,
warehousing, and shipping operations for the production of water
management applications. The site at Pittsburgh Avenue supplies
corporate administrative functions respective to the Raspberry
Street facility, as well as to other Zurn sites.
The worker group was previously certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance under petition numbers TA-W-
93,665, and TA-W-93,665A. The certifications expired on May 3,
2020.
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, and shifted
production of an article like or directly competitive with the
article(s) produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to the worker group separations at the Zurn Industries, LLC
sites in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Zurn Industries, LLC,
a subsidiary of Rexnord-Zurn Holdings, Inc., which is a
subsidiary of Rexnord LLC, 1801 Pittsburgh Avenue, Erie,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-95,908), and Zurn Industries, LLC, a
subsidiary of Rexnord-Zurn Holdings, Inc., which is a subsidiary
of Rexnord LLC, 1302 Raspberry Street, Erie, Pennsylvania (TA-
W-95,908A), who are engaged in activities related to corporate
administrative functions, machining, warehousing, shipping
operations, and production of water management applications,
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 Zurn Industries, LLC, a subsidiary of
Rexnord-Zurn Holdings, Inc., which is a subsidiary of
Rexnord LLC, 1801 Pittsburgh Avenue, Erie, Pennsylvania
(TA-W-95,908), and Zurn Industries, LLC, a subsidiary of
Rexnord-Zurn Holdings, Inc., which is a subsidiary of
Rexnord LLC, 1302 Raspberry Street, Erie, Pennsylvania (TA-
W-95,908A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 4, 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 February, 2021.
