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 by the State Workforce Office on August 11, 2009 on behalf
of workers of Agility Logistics, SNI Division, Santa Ana,
California (Agility). The workers provided accounting services.
The worker group includes on-site leased worker from Connections
Personnel Inc. and Sedona Staffing Services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Agility, who are
engaged in employment related to accounting services, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant portion of
Agility's accounting service workers were threatened with
separation from employment during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted a portion of accounting services to India.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of the
accounting services to India by Agility contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the Santa Ana, California
facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Agility Logistics,
SNI Division, Santa Ana, California, including on-site leased
workers from Connections Personnel Inc. and Sedona Staffing
Services, who are engaged in employment related to 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 Agility Logistics, SNI Division, Santa
Ana, California, including on-site leased workers from
Connections Personnel Inc. and Sedona Staffing Services,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after July 15, 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 2nd day of December, 2009
