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 28, 2010 by a Minnesota state workforce
official on behalf of workers of Target Corporation, Accounts
Payable Department, including on-site leased workers of CDI
Corporation and Global Software, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
The workers provide accounts payable services for Target
Corporation.
The investigation revealed that workers of Target
Corporation, Accounts Payable Department, Brooklyn Park,
Minnesota, who are engaged in employment related to accounts
payable services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over 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 accounts
payable services to India by Target Corporation contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Target Corporation.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Target Corporation,
Accounts Payable Department, including on-site leased workers
of CDI Corporation and Global Software, Brooklyn Park,
Minnesota, who are engaged in employment related to the supply
of accounts payable 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 Target Corporation, Accounts Payable
Department, including on-site leased workers of CDI
Corporation and Global Software, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after January 27, 2009, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 20th day of May, 2010
