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 24, 2009 on behalf of workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, Enterprise Storage and Networks, Supply Chain Division,
Boise, Idaho. The worker group also includes and is limited to
employees working off-site in California, Texas, Colorado, and
Massachusetts. The workers are engaged in providing services
related to managing the flow of software storage packages from
supplier to customers.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Manpower.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Enterprise
Storage and Networks, Supply Chain Division, in Boise and other
locations who are engaged in employment related to providing
services related to managing the flow of software storage packages
from supplier to customers meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
the workers were separated from employment during the relevant
period.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted the above noted service functions to Singapore, Taiwan,
India, and the Czech Republic.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of the services
to locations abroad by Hewlett Packard Company, contributed
importantly to worker group separations within the division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard Company,
Enterprise Storage and Networks, Supply Chain Division, Boise,
Idaho, including employees working off-site in California, Texas,
Colorado, Massachusetts, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Boise, Idaho, who are engaged in employment related to
providing services to managing the flow of software storage
packages from supplier to customers 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 Hewlett Packard Company, Enterprise Storage
and Networks, Supply Chain Division, Boise, Idaho, including
employees working off-site in California, Texas, Colorado, and
Massachusetts, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Boise, Idaho, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 19, 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 22nd day of September, 2009
