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 11, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of DP/DHL, DHL Information Services (Americas),
Scottsdale, Arizona (DP/DHL). Of note, the company provided
evidence that they actually sent the petition dated August 11,
2009 to the United States Department of Labor on August 12,
2009. The workers are engaged in activities related to
information technology services. The group consists of on-site
leased workers from Axway, Inc., Beeline, Cisco, Cognizant
Technology Solutions, COMSYS, Day Software, Inc., Dimension
Data, Dow Computer Services, Inc., Ensynch, HP, IBM, IES
Commercial, Inc. (Replaces FCG), Infosys, INS International
Network Services (BT INS), Intraedge, Inc., ITC Infotech,
Kaytona Universal, Merge Communications, Microsoft
Corporation, Ongroup, Oracle Corporation, Oracle USA, Inc.,
Randstad, Robert Half Technology, Seal Consulting, Inc.,
Software AG (formerly webMethods, Inc.), Spire Systems, Inc.,
Staffmark, TEKsystems, Tie National Accounts, Unisys, US
Technologies, Wipro and Xeriom.
The investigation revealed that workers of DP/DHL who are
engaged in activities related to information technology
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at DP/DHL have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by the workers' firm to a foreign country in the supply of
services like or directly competitive with those supplied by the
workers' firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
information technology services to Malaysia and Czech Republic
by DP/DHL contributed importantly to worker group separations
at DP/DHL.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DP/DHL, DHL
Information Services (Americas), including on-site leased
workers from Axway, Inc., Beeline, Cisco, Cognizant Technology
Solutions, COMSYS, Day Software, Inc., Dimension Data, Dow
Computer Services, Inc., Ensynch, HP, IBM, IES Commercial,

(formerly webMethods, Inc.), Spire Systems, Inc., Staffmark,
TEKsystems, Tie National Accounts, Unisys, US Technologies,
Wipro and Xeriom, Scottsdale, Arizona, who are engaged in
activities related to information technology 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:

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."
