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 16, 2010 by a California state workforce
official on behalf of workers of Hewlett Packard Company,
Enterprise Division, Sales Compensation Group, including
leased workers from MW2 and ISI, and teleworkers from across
California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, New
Hampshire, and New York who are reporting to Palo Alto,
California. The workers provide sales compensation services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company who are engaged in activities related to sales
compensation 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 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
sales compensation services from Brazil and Mexico by Hewlett
Packard Company contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Hewlett Packard Company.



Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, Enterprise Division, Sales Compensation Group,
including leased workers from MW2 and ISI, and teleworkers
from across California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts,
Maryland, New Hampshire, and New York who are reporting to
Palo Alto, California, who are engaged in employment related to
sales compensation 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, Enterprise
Division, Sales Compensation Group, including leased
workers from MW2 and ISI, and teleworkers from across
California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland,
New Hampshire, and New York who are reporting to Palo
Alto, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after April 14, 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 24th day of September, 2010
