Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on September 24, 2009, applicable to workers of Warner
Brothers Entertainment, Inc., Warner Brother Theatrical
Enterprises, Burbank, California. The notice was published in
the Federal Register on November 17, 2009 (74 FR 59254).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
company reports that workers from the above-mentioned operating
entities provided a variety of technology, administrative,
finance, accounting, and order-to-cash processing services
supporting the parent facility, Warner Brothers Entertainment,
Inc., Burbank, California. Worker separations have occurred at
these entities and are expected to continue through 2011.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to including workers from the above mentioned
operating entities in support of Warner Brothers Entertainment,
Inc., Burbank, California.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc. who were
adversely affected by the acquisition of services from India,
China and Poland.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-71,775 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc.,
Warner Brother Theatrical Enterprises, including
workers from the following entities: Burbank Television
Enterprises LLC, Warner Brothers Consumer Products,
Inc., Warner Brothers International Television
Distribution, Inc., Warner Brothers Distributing, Inc.,
Warner Brothers Home Entertainment, Inc., Warner
Brothers Studio Enterprises, Inc., Warner Brothers
Pictures, Warner Brothers Pictures International,
Warner Brothers Studio Facilities, and Warner Brothers
Entertainment Company, Burbank, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 20, 2008, through September 24, 2011, 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.”

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 22, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc., Warner Brothers Theatrical
Enterprises, Burbank, California, (Warner Brothers). The workers
provide administrative and accounts payable services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Warner Brothers
who are engaged in employment related to administrative and
accounts payable services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because employees have been
separated and more separations are anticipated.
Criterion II has been met because the services performed by
the subject firm have been acquired by a foreign country.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition from a
foreign country by Warner Brothers contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Warner Brother Theatrical
Enterprises.








Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Warner Brothers
Entertainment, Inc., Warner Brother Theatrical Enterprises,
Burbank, California, who are engaged in employment related to
administrative and accounts payable 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 Warner Brothers Entertainment, Inc., Warner
Brother Theatrical Enterprises, Burbank, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after July 20, 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.”
