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 company official on behalf of
workers of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, Customer Care,
Documentation, and Finance Departments, Woodcliff Lake, New
Jersey (WWL). The workers provided customer care,
documentation, and/or financial services.
The worker groups also consist of on-site leased workers
from RemX Financial Staffing.
The investigation revealed that workers of WWL who are
engaged in employment related to customer care, documentation,
and/or financial services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the firm have been separated based on
May 2009 employment levels to that of May 2008.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services provided by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
customer care, documentation, and/or financial services from
El Salvador by WWL contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, Customer Care,
Documentation, and Finance Departments, Woodcliff Lake, New
Jersey.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Logistics, Customer Care, Documentation, and Finance
Departments, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, who are engaged in
employment related to customer care, documentation, and/or
financial 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 Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, Customer
Care, Documentation, and Finance Departments, Woodcliff
Lake, New Jersey, including on-site leased workers from
RemX Financial 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 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 11th day of August, 2009.
