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 19, 2009, by a Florida State Workforce Office
representative on behalf of workers of Coca Cola Enterprises,
Inc., Global Finance, Shared Services Division, Brandon, Florida
(hereinafter referred to as Coca Cola Enterprises-Brandon). The
workers are engaged in employment related to the supply of
accounting services. The worker group includes on-site leased
workers of Adecco, Spherion (The Mergis Group), Kelly Services,
and Ajilon Professional Staffing.
The investigation revealed that the worker group at Coca
Cola Enterprises-Brandon engaged in employment related to the
supply of accounting services meets the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
portion of workers at Coca Cola Enterprises-Brandon has been
separated or is threatened with separation.
Criterion II has been met because there has been a shift
by Coca Cola Enterprises-Brandon to India and Guatemala in the
supply of services like or directly competitive with accounting
supplied by the worker group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in supply by
Coca Cola Enterprises-Brandon to foreign countries of services
like or directly competitive with accounting supplied by the
worker group contributed importantly to workers' separations.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Coca Cola
Enterprises, Inc., Global Finance, Shared Services Division,
Brandon, Florida, who are engaged in employment related to the
supply of accounting 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 Coca Cola Enterprises, Inc., Global
Finance, Shared Services Division, Brandon, Florida,
including on-site leased workers of Adecco, Spherion (The
Mergis Group), Kelly Services, and Ajilon Professional
Staffing, 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 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."
