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(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;

II. the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and

III. either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers' firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers' separation or threat of separation.

Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 19, 2009 on behalf of workers of CEVA Freight
LLC, Dell Logistics Division, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
(CEVA Freight). The workers supply freight management services.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Prologistix.
The investigation revealed that workers of CEVA Freight,
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who are engaged in employment
related to the supply of freight management services, meet the
criteria as Suppliers for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at CEVA Freight have been totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation,
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because workers of CEVA Freight
provide services to a firm that employed a worker group who is
eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by CEVA Freight with the afore-mentioned firm, with respect to
freight management services, contributed importantly to worker
separations at the Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CEVA Freight LLC,
Dell Logistics Division, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of freight
management services, meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c).
In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of CEVA Freight LLC, Dell Logistics Division,
including on-site leased workers of Prologistix, Winston-
Salem, North Carolina, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 18, 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 19th day of March, 2010
