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 18, 2009 on behalf of workers of Warner
Music Inc., IT Infrastructure, 3300 Riverside Drive, Burbank,
California (TA-W-72,884), Warner Music Inc., IT
Infrastructure, New York, New York (TA-W-72,884A), Warner
Music Inc., IT Infrastructure, Nashville, Tennessee (TA-W-
72,884B), Warner Music Inc., IT Infrastructure, 3400 W. Olive
Ave, Burbank, California (TA-W-72,884C) and Warner Music Inc.,
IT Infrastructure, 3300 Warner Blvd, Burbank, California (TA-
W-72,884D). The workers are engaged in activities related to
information technology infrastructure services. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Spherion, Infosys
and Turner Techtronics.
The investigation revealed that workers of Warner who are
engaged in activities related to information technology
infrastructure services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers have become separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by the workers' firm to a foreign country in the supply
of services like or directly competitive with those supplied
by the workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
information technology infrastructure services to India by
Warner Music Inc. contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the Burbank, California, New York, New York,
and Nashville, Tennessee facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Warner Music Inc.,
who are engaged in employment related to information
technology infrastructure 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 Warner Music Inc., IT Infrastructure,
including on-site leased workers from Spherion, Infosys
and Turner Techtronics, 3300 Riverside Drive, Burbank,
California (TA-W-72,884), New York, New York (TA-W-
72,884A), Nashville, Tennessee (TA-W-72,884B), 3400 W.
Olive Ave, Burbank, California (TA-W-72,884C) and 3300
Warner Blvd, Burbank, California (TA-W-72,884D), who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after November 16, 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 6th day of January, 2010
