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, on behalf of workers of Yahoo! Inc.,
Finance Division, Sunnyvale, California (TA-W-70,525), Burbank,
California (TA-W-70,525A), and Santa Clara, California (TA-W-
70,525B). The workers supply financial and accounting services
such as credit collection, procurement, and payroll. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Workforce Logic who
worked at all three locations.
The investigation revealed that workers of Yahoo! Inc.,
Finance Division, Sunnyvale, California (TA-W-70,525), Burbank,
California (TA-W-70,525A), and Santa Clara, California (TA-W-
70,525B) who are engaged in employment related to financial and
accounting services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers are threatened to become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
financial and accounting services from India by Yahoo! Inc.
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Sunnyvale, California (TA-W-70,525), Burbank, California (TA-W-
70,525A), and Santa Clara, California (TA-W-70,525B) facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Yahoo! Inc., Finance
Division, Sunnyvale, California (TA-W-70,525), Burbank,
California (TA-W-70,525A), and Santa Clara, California (TA-W-
70,525B), who are engaged in employment related to financial and
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 Yahoo! Inc., Finance Division, including
on-site leased workers from Workforce Logic, Sunnyvale,
California (TA-W-70,525), Yahoo! Inc., Finance Division,
including on-site leased workers from Workforce Logic,
Burbank, California (TA-W-70,525A), and Yahoo! Inc.,
Finance Division, including on-site leased workers from
Workforce Logic, Santa Clara, California (TA-W-70,525B),
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 8th day of December, 2009
