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 August 4, 2009 on behalf of workers of Maersk Line, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of A.P. Moller - Maerk Group, Charlotte,
North Carolina (Maersk Line). The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Securitas, Sarcom, and RemX Financial
Staffing. The workers provide operational, financial, and
administrative support services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Maersk Line who
are engaged in activities related to operational, financial,
and administrative services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers were separated or threatened to be separated from the
subject firm during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted the supply of operational, financial, and
administrative services to a foreign country.


Criterion III has been met because the shift in services
to India by Maersk Line contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Maersk Line.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Maersk Line, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of A.P. Moller - Maerk Group, including
on-site leased workers from Securitas, Sarcom, and RemX
Financial Staffing, Charlotte, North Carolina who are engaged in
activities related to operational, financial, and
administrative 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 Maersk Line, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
A.P. Moller - Maerk Group, including on-site leased workers
from Securitas, Sarcom, and RemX Financial Staffing,
Charlotte, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 3, 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 8th day of October 2009.
