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 worker
petition filed on October 6, 2009 on behalf of workers of
Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Human Resources Department,
San Jose, California. The workers provide human resource
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Doherty Staffing Solutions.
The investigation revealed that workers of Cypress
Semiconductor Corporation who are engaged in employment
related to human resource services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
portion of the workers at the workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated in the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to India and the Philippines some human resource
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by
the workers in San Jose.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of human
resource services to India and the Philippines by Cypress
Semiconductor Corporation contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Human
Resource Department, San Jose, California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cypress Semiconductor
Corporation, San Jose, California, who are engaged in
employment related to human resources 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 Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Human
Resources Department, including on-site leased workers
from Doherty Staffing Solutions, San Jose, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 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."
