Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the results of
its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply
for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on December 9, 2008 in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and Printing Group,
Edgeline Development and Light Production Systems (LPS) Operations
Division, Edgeline Development Operations, Vancouver, Washington.
The workers of Edgeline Development and Operations produce
engineering specifications, software, and firmware used in the
manufacture of HP Edgeline printers. An important part of this work
involved the production and testing of printer prototypes.
The investigation revealed that Hewlett Packard Company,
Imaging and Printing Group, Edgeline Development and LPS
Operations, Edgeline Development Operations, Vancouver, Washington
also leased workers from Adea Solutions Company, Artech Information
Systems, ATP Personnel Services Corporation, CDI Corporation,
Finesse Personnel Associates (W.C. Barlow & Associates), Hightower
Technology Capital, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., LionBridge
Technologies, Inc. (aka VeriTest), Northwest Software, Inc., PDG
(Product Design Group), Radiant Systems, Inc., Siemens, Inc.,
Synova, Inc., Technical Aid Corporation d/b/a TAC Worldwide
Company, and Volt Information Sciences, Inc.
Employment and production at the subject facility declined
from December 2007 to December 2008.
The subject firm is shifting prototype production and testing,
software, and firmware, as well as work on engineering designs
specifications abroad, including to Singapore, a country that is
party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the subject facilities are
age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily
transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are
adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production
from the workers’ firm or subdivision to Singapore of articles that
are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject
firm or subdivision, and there has been or is likely to be an
increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles. In
accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following
certification:
"All workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Imaging and Printing
Group, Edgeline Development and Light Production Systems (LPS)
Operations, Edgeline Development Operations, Vancouver,
Washington, including on-site leased workers of Adea Solutions
Company, Artech Information Systems, ATP Personnel Services
Corporation, CDI Corporation, Finesse Personnel Associates
(W.C. Barlow & Associates), Hightower Technology Capital,
Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (aka
VeriTest), Northwest Software, Inc., PDG (Product Design
Group), Radiant Systems, Inc., Siemens, Inc., Synova, Inc.,
Technical Aid Corporation d/b/a TAC Worldwide Company, and
Volt Information Sciences, Inc. who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 3,
2007 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.”
