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 July 7, 2020 by a company official on behalf of workers
and former workers of ITT, Inc., Connect & Control Technologies,
BIW-Connector Systems Division, Machinists Group, Santa Rosa,
California (ITT/Machinists-Santa Rosa). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the production of connector
solutions for the oil and gas industry. The subject worker group
(ITT/Machinists-Santa Rosa) consists of machinists.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in ITT/Machinists-Santa Rosa 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 those produced by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
within ITT/Machinists-Santa Rosa.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ITT/Machinists-Santa
Rosa 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 ITT, Inc., Connect & Control Technologies,
BIW-Connector Systems Division, Machinists Group, Santa
Rosa, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 6, 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."
