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 21, 2010 by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of ADP TotalSource, medical transcriptionists reporting
from their home offices located in Alabama, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Florida (excluding workers from Winter Springs,
Florida), Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New York, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, reporting to
iMedx, Inc. formerly MedWare, Inc., Winter Springs, Florida
(ADP). The workers are engaged in activities related to medical
transcription services. This decision does not include any on-
site workers from iMedx, Inc., formerly MedWare, Inc., Winter
Springs, Florida.
The investigation revealed that workers of ADP who are
engaged in activities related to medical transcription
services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at ADP have become totally or
partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by ADP to India in the supply of services like or directly
competitive with those supplied by the workers of ADP.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of medical
transcription services to India by ADP contributed importantly
to worker group separations at ADP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ADP TotalSource,
medical transcriptionists reporting from their home offices
located in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida
(excluding workers from Winter Springs, Florida), Georgia,
Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia,
Washington and Wisconsin, reporting to iMedx, Inc. formerly
MedWare, Inc., Winter Springs, Florida who are engaged in
activities related to medical transcription 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 ADP TotalSource, medical transcriptionists
reporting from their home offices located in Alabama,
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida (excluding workers
from Winter Springs, Florida), Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, reporting to iMedx,
Inc. formerly MedWare, Inc., Winter Springs, Florida, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 18, 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 15th day of September, 2010.
