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 April 7, 2010 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of TechTeam Global, Inc., Southfield, Michigan. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Human Capital
Staffing, LLC, K-Force, Accountstemps, LogicSolutions, and
OfficeTeam. The workers supplied information technology (IT)
and help desk services.
The investigation revealed that workers of TechTeam Global,
Inc., who supplied information technology (IT) and help desk
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because all the workers at the
workers' firm were separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has shifted information technology (IT) and related help desk
services abroad.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
information technology (IT) and related help desk services by
TechTeam Global, Inc. to the Philippines and Romania
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Southfield, Michigan facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of TechTeam Global,
Inc., including on-site leased workers from Human Capital
Staffing, LLC, K-Force, Accountstemps, LogicSolutions, and
OfficeTeam Southfield, Michigan, who supplied information
technology (IT) and help desk 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 TechTeam Global, Inc., who supplied
information technology (IT) and help desk services, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 2, 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 5th day of November, 2010
