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 12, 2009 by three workers on behalf of workers
of the Hertz Corporation at the Hertz Technology Center,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The workers were engaged in providing
computer programming and analysis services within the Hertz
Corporation. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Express Employment Professionals and Addison Group.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hertz
Corporation at the Hertz Technology Center, who are engaged in
employment related to the provision of computer programming
and analysis services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because at least five percent of
the workers have become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with the services produced by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
computer programming and analysis services by Hertz from India
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma facility.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the Hertz Corporation
at the Hertz Technology Center including on-site leased
workers from Express Employment Professionals and Addison
Group, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma who are engaged in employment
related to the provision of computer programming and analysis
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 Hertz Corporation at the Hertz Technology
Center, including on-site leased workers from Express
Employment Professionals and Addison Group, Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 5, 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."
