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 22, 2010 by a Minnesota state workforce official
on behalf of workers of Medtronic, Inc., Cardiac Rhythm Disease
Management Operating Segment, Clinical Research and
Reimbursement Division, including on-site leased workers from
Advantage Technical Resourcing, Inc., CodeBlu Staffing,
Hospital Employee Labor Pool, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc.,
Keystone Computer Solutions, Inc., Randstad North America,
VOLT Services Group, Eagle Employment, Talent Technical, and
Three Point Solutions, Mounds View, Minnesota. The workers
provide clinical trial management services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Medtronic, Inc.
who are engaged in employment related to the supply of
clinical trial management 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
clinical trial management services from India by Medtronic,
Inc. contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Medtronic, Inc., Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management Segment,
Clinical Research and Reimbursement Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Medtronic, Inc.,
Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management Operating Segment, Clinical
Research and Reimbursement Division, including on-site leased
workers from Advantage Technical Resourcing, Inc., CodeBlu
Staffing, Hospital Employee Labor Pool, Inc., Kelly Services,
Inc., Keystone Computer Solutions, Inc., Randstad North
America, VOLT Services Group, Eagle Employment, Talent
Technical, and Three Point Solutions, Mounds View, Minnesota,
who are engaged in employment related to clinical trial
management 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 Medtronic, Inc., Cardiac Rhythm Disease
Management Operating Segment, Clinical Research and
Reimbursement Division, including on-site leased workers
from Advantage Technical Resourcing, Inc., CodeBlu
Staffing, Hospital Employee Labor Pool, Inc., Kelly
Services, Inc., Keystone Computer Solutions, Inc.,
Randstad North America, VOLT Services Group, Eagle
Employment, Talent Technical, and Three Point Solutions,
Mounds View, Minnesota, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 1st day of October, 2010
