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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on May 20, 2010, applicable to workers of
Hewlett-Packard Company, Division of Corporate Administration
and Shared Services, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower and including workers off-site from various states in
the United States reporting to Omaha, Nebraska, Omaha, Nebraska.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on June 7, 2010
(75 FR 32223).
At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of order
management and post-sales customer support services.
New information shows that worker separations also occurred
during the relevant time period at the Syracuse, New York,
Marlboro, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Georgia and Colorado Springs,
Colorado locations of Hewlett-Packard Company, Division of
Corporate Administration and Shared Services. The relevant data
supplied by Hewlett-Packard to the Department during its’
investigation included the above four locations
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include employees of the Syracuse, New York,
Marlboro, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Georgia and Colorado Springs,
Colorado locations of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in the supply of order management and post-sales customer
support services to Guadalajara, Mexico.


The amended notice applicable to TA-W-73,555 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Hewlett-Packard Company, Division of
Corporate Administration and Shared Services, including on-
site leased workers from Manpower and including workers
off-site from various states throughout the United States

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 February 24, 2010 on behalf of workers of Hewlett-
Packard Company, Division of Corporate Administration and
Shared Services, Omaha, Nebraska (Hewlett-Packard Company-
Corporate Administration and Shared Services). The workers are
engaged in employment related to the supply of order
management and post-sales customer support services. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Manpower as
well as off-site workers of Hewlett-Packard Company, Division
of Corporate Administration and Shared Services located in
various states throughout the United States who report to the
Omaha, Nebraska office.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett-Packard
Company-Corporate Administration and Shared Services, who are
engaged in employment related to the supply of order
management and post sales customer support services, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of workers at Hewlett-Packard Company-Corporate
Administration and Shared Services have been separated during
the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by Hewlett-
Packard Company-Corporate Administration and Shared Services.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of order
management and post-sales customer support services to Mexico
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Hewlett-Packard Company-Corporate Administration and Shared
Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett-Packard
Company, Division of Corporate Administration and Shared
Services, including on-site leased workers from Manpower and
off-site workers of Hewlett-Packard Company-Corporate
Administration and Shared Services located in various states
throughout the United States, Omaha, Nebraska, who are engaged
in employment related to the supply of order management and post
sales customer support 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 Company, Division of
Corporate Administration and Shared Services, including
on-site leased workers from Manpower and including
workers off-site from various states throughout the
United States reporting to Omaha, Nebraska, Omaha,
Nebraska, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 17, 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.”
