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 March 3, 2010 by a Minnesota state workforce official
on behalf of leased workers from TEKSystems, Ajilon, and
Pomeroy, working on-site at Target Corporation, North Campus
Rollout Room, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The workers provide
technological configuration services for Target Corporation's
Rollout Room.
The investigation revealed that workers of TEK Systems,
Ajilon, and Pomeroy, who are working on-site at Target
Corporation, and who are engaged in employment related to
technological configuration services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Target
Corporation has acquired from a foreign country services like
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services from Canada by Target Corporation contributed
importantly to worker group separations among leased workers
from TEKSystems, Ajilon, and Pomeroy.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that leased workers from TEKSystems,
Ajilon, and Pomeroy, working on-site at Target Corporation,
North Campus Rollout Room, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, who are
engaged in employment related to technological configuration
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 leased workers of TEKSystems, Ajilon, and Pomeroy,
working on-site at Target Corporation, North Campus Rollout
Room, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 1,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 3rd day of August, 2010
