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 June 1, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Con-way Enterprise Services, Accounting, Fixed
Assets and Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure
Divisions, Portland, Oregon. The workers supplied accounts
payable, fixed assets accounting, and IT services to support
company-wide operations.
The investigation revealed that workers of Con-way
Enterprise Services, who are engaged in employment related to
accounts payable, fixed assets accounting, and IT, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
the workers have been separated or are threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
services by Con-way Enterprise Services contributed
importantly to worker group separations in the Accounting,
Fixed Assets and IT Infrastructure Divisions.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Con-way Enterprise
Services, Accounting, Fixed Assets and IT Infrastructure
Divisions, Portland, Oregon, who are engaged in employment
related to accounts payable, fixed assets accounting, and IT
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 Con-way Enterprise Services, Accounting,
Fixed Assets and Information Technology Infrastructure
Divisions, including on-site leased workers from Express
Services, Inc., Northwest Staffing Resources Inc, Volt,
Apex Systems Inc, Centerstance Inc, Comsys Technical
Services Inc, DB Professionals Inc, IBM Corporation, Infor
Global Solutions Inc, Jibe Consulting Inc, Meridian
Technology Group Inc, Online Business Systems, Point B
Solutions Group LLP, Results Positive Inc, SVI America,
Satyam Computer Services LTD, Serverlogic Corporation,
Technowiz Inc, Tek Systems, Triad Technology Group Inc,
Vanderhouwen & Associates Inc, and Yoh Services LLC,
Portland, Oregon, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after May 28, 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 4th day of August, 2010
