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 30, 2010 by three workers of UPS Supply Chain
Solutions, Account Payable Group, a subsidiary of United Parcel
Service, Dunmore, Pennsylvania. The workers provide accounting
service and are not separately identifiable by service. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers of Manpower,
Spherion Staffing, Adecco Staffing, Kelly Staffing, and Matrix
Information Consulting, Inc.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant percentage
of workers at the subject firm have been separated during the
relevant period under investigation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted accounting service to the Philippines during the
relevant period under investigation.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in service
by the subject firm to the Philippines contributed importantly
to worker group separations at the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the UPS Supply chain
Solutions, Account Payable Group, a subsidiary of United Parcel
Service, including on-site leased workers of Manpower, Spherion
Staffing, Adecco Staffing, Kelly Staffing, and Matrix
Information Consulting, Inc., Dunmore, Pennsylvania, who are
engaged in accounting, 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 UPS Supply chain Solutions, Account Payable
Group, a subsidiary of United Parcel Service, including on-
site leased workers of Manpower, Spherion Staffing, Adecco
Staffing, Kelly Staffing, and Matrix Information
Consulting, Inc., Dunmore, Pennsylvania, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after April
21, 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."
