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 21, 2009 on behalf of workers of Tektronix, Inc.,
Information Technology Division, Data Center Operations Group,
Beaverton, Oregon. The workers provided telephone call center
support services for the computer systems of Tektronix, Inc.
This included tracking, logging, and reporting of system
errors.
The petitioner stated that the services provided at the
subject firm are being shifted to India.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Tektronix,
Inc., Data Center Operations Group who are engaged in
employment related to telephone call center support meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because all workers have been
separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the telephone
call center services provided by workers of the subject firm
have been shifted to Pune, India.


Criterion III has been met because the shift of telephone
call center services from Beaverton, Oregon to Pune, India by
Tektronix, Inc. contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Beaverton, Oregon facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tektronix, Inc.,
Information Technology Division, Data Center Operations Group,
Beaverton, Oregon who are engaged in employment related to
business support 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 Tektronix, Inc., Information Technology
Division, Data Center Operations Group, Beaverton, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after May 21, 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 26th day of June, 2009
