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 19, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hospira, Inc., Lake Forest Division, including on-
site leased workers of Kelly Services, Pleasant Prairie,
Wisconsin. The workers provide information technology,
finance, global medical affairs, and accounts payable services
for the firm.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hospira, Inc.
who are engaged in employment related to information
technology, finance, global medical affairs, and accounts
payable 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
information technology, finance, global medical affairs, and
accounts payable services by Hospira, Inc. contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the Pleasant
Prairie, Wisconsin facility.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hospira, Inc., Lake
Forest Division, including on-site leased workers of Kelly
Services, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, who are engaged in
employment related to information technology, finance, global
medical affairs, and accounts payable 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 Hospira, Inc., Lake Forest Division,
including on-site leased workers of Kelly Services,
Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 16,
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 9th day of June, 2010
