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 September 16, 2009 on behalf of workers of Managed
Business Solutions, LLC, working on-site at Hewlett Packard,
Farmington Hills, Michigan (MBS). The workers are engaged in
activities related to media management and technical-help desk
support.
The investigation revealed that workers of MBS who are
engaged in activities related to media management and
technical-help desk support meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers at the workers' firm have become totally
or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers firm
has shifted to a foreign country a supply of a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of media
management and technical-help desk support to Malaysia by MBS
contributed importantly to worker group separations at MBS.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Managed Business
Solutions, LLC, working on-site at Hewlett Packard, Farmington
Hills, Michigan, who are engaged in activities related to media
management and technical-help desk support 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 Managed Business Solutions, LLC, working
on-site at Hewlett Packard, Farmington Hills, Michigan,
engaged in activities related to media management and
technical-help desk support, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September
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 16th day of October, 2009
