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 January 13, 2010 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Hewlett-Packard, Enterprise Services Division,
formerly known as EDS, Fort Worth, Texas. The workers were
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology services including end-to-end computer management
services, custom application development, and maintenance
services. The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Pinnacle Technical Resources, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett-Packard,
who were engaged in activities related to information technology
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
information technology services to a foreign country contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Fort Worth,
Texas facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett-Packard,
Enterprise Services division, formerly known as EDS, Fort
Worth, Texas who were engaged in activities related to the
supply of information technology 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 Hewlett-Packard, Enterprise Services
Division, formerly known as EDS, Fort Worth, Texas
including on-site leased workers from Pinnacle Technical
Resources, Inc., who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after January 12, 2009, 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."
