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 July 8, 2009 on behalf of workers of Computer Sciences
Corporation, Division of Financial Services Group - Life Business
Process Outsourcing, Irving, Texas. The workers are engaged in
activities related to back office support for life insurance
products.
The investigation revealed that workers of Computer Sciences
Corporation, Division of Financial Services Group - Life Business
Process Outsourcing, Irving, Texas, who are engaged in employment
related to financial back office support for life insurance
products, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of the
workers in the workers' division have become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of back office
support for life insurance products to India by Computer Sciences
Corporation, Division of Financial Services Group - Life Business
Process Outsourcing, Irving, Texas contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the Irving, Texas, facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Computer Sciences
Corporation, Division of Financial Services Group - Life Business
Process Outsourcing, Irving, Texas, who are engaged in activities
related to back office support for life insurance products, 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 Computer Sciences Corporation, Division of
Financial Services Group - Life Business Process
Outsourcing, Irving, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 29, 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."
