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 August 4, 2020 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Johnson Controls, Inc., Building Technologies & Solutions
Division, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson
Controls International, PLC., Marinette, Wisconsin (Johnson
Controls/BTS-Marinette). Johnson Controls/BTS-Marinette is
engaged in activities related to the production and supply of
products, services, and solutions to optimize energy and
operational efficiencies of buildings, integrated electronic
security systems, fire protection systems, and detection and
suppression systems, including administrative, corporate
finance, and related support services. The subject worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petition.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Johnson Controls/BTS-
Marinette 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 services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
affected workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Johnson Controls/BTS-Marinette.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson Controls/BTS-
Marinette 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 Johnson Controls, Inc., Building
Technologies & Solutions Division, an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls International, PLC.,
Marinette, Wisconsin, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 2, 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 13th day of November 2020.
