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:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers’ firm must
have become totally or partially separated or be threatened
with total or partial separation.
II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:
(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
(i)(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.
III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition must
have contributed importantly to the workers’ separation or
threat of separation. See Section 222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 18, 2009 on behalf of workers of Symantec Corporation,
Symantec Accounts Payable/Expense Reporting Team, Finance
Department, Springfield, Oregon. The workers provided computer
software and software related services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Symantec
Corporation, Symantec Accounts Payable/Expense Reporting Team,
Finance Department, Springfield, Oregon who are engaged in
employment related to computer software and software related
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers were separated from employment during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm has
shifted computer software and software related services to India.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of computer
software and software related services to India by Symantec
Corporation contributed importantly to worker group separations
within the Symantec Accounts Payable/Expense Reporting Team.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Symantec Corporation,
Symantec Accounts Payable/Expense Reporting Team, Finance
Department, Springfield, Oregon, who are engaged in employment
related to computer software and software related services 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 Symantec Corporation, Symantec Accounts
Payable/Expense Reporting Team, Finance Department,
Springfield, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 18, 2008, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment on
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
