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 26, 2010 on behalf of workers of JPMorgan
Chase and Company, Central Technology and Operations Division,
Corporate Department, Enterprise Computing Services Technology
Team, Connectivity Services Group, Columbus, Ohio (hereinafter
referred to as JPMorgan Chase, Connectivity Services Group).
The workers supply file transfer implementation support
services across all JPMorgan Chase and Company divisions.
The investigation revealed that workers of JPMorgan Chase,
Connectivity Services Group meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
or number of the workers at JPMorgan Chase, Connectivity
Services Group was totally or partially separated, or
threatened with such separation, during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because JPMorgan Chase,
Connectivity Services Group has shifted to a foreign country
the supply of services like or directly competitive to the
services supplied by the subject worker group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift to India
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Columbus, Ohio facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of JPMorgan Chase and
Company, Central Technology and Operations Division, Corporate
Department, Enterprise Computing Services Technology Team,
Connectivity Services Group, Columbus, Ohio, 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 JPMorgan Chase and Company, Central
Technology and Operations Division, Corporate Department,
Enterprise Computing Services Technology Team,
Connectivity Services Group, Columbus, Ohio, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 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 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."
