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 November 16, 2009 on behalf of workers of Objective
Systems Integrators, Inc., Quality Assurance and Product
Demonstration Departments, Roseville, California. Workers are
engaged in software testing services. The worker group includes
leased workers from Strategic Staffing and Volt Accounting and
Finance.
The investigation revealed that workers of Objective
Systems Integrators, Inc. meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country its acquisition of services
like or directly competitive with services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services by Objective Systems Integrators, Inc., contributed
importantly to worker separations in the Quality Assurance and
Product Demonstration Departments.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Objective Systems
Integrators, Inc., Quality Assurance and Product Demonstration
Departments, Roseville, California, including on-site leased
workers from Strategic Staffing and Volt Accounting and Finance,
who are engaged in employment related to software testing
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 Objective Systems Integrators, Inc.,
Quality Assurance and Product Demonstration Departments,
Roseville, California, including on-site leased workers
from Strategic Staffing and Volt Accounting and Finance,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after November 13, 2008, through two years from the
date of certification, and all workers in the group
threatened with total or partial separation from employment
on the 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 4th day of March, 2010
