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 by a California State Workforce official
on behalf of workers of LexisNexis, Global Operations Division,
San Francisco, California, including on-site leased workers of
Randstand and Certified Employment Group. The workers provide
publishing operations services used in the creation and
publishing of legal databases.
The investigation revealed that workers of LexisNexis,
Global Operations Division, San Francisco, California, who are
engaged in employment related to publishing operations
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the worker group was separated from employment in the last
year.
Criterion II has been satisfied because publishing
operations services have been shifted to India and the
Philippines.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
publishing operations services contributed importantly to
worker group separations at LexisNexis.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of LexisNexis, Global
Operations Division, San Francisco, California, including on-
site leased workers of Randstand and Certified Employment
Group, who are engaged in employment related to publishing
operations 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 LexisNexis, Global Operations Division,
San Francisco, California, including on-site leased
workers of Randstand and Certified Employment Group, 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 23rd day of July, 2009
