Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on September 10, 2010, applicable to
workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Enterprise Business
Division, Technical Services America, Global Parts Supply Chain
Group, including leased workers from QFlex, North America
Logistics, and UPS, Palo Alto, California. The Department’s
Notice was published in the Federal Register on September 23,
2010 (75 FR 57982). The Notice was amended on November 12, 2010
and February 10, 2011 to include teleworkers across many states.
The Department’s Notices of amended certification were published
in the Federal Register November 23, 2010 (75 FR 71457-71458)
and February 24, 2011 (76 FR 10394-10395).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
are engaged employment related to the supply of design services
and sales compensation operations for Hewlett Packard Company.
New findings show that worker separations occurred during
the relevant time period involving employees of Hewlett Packard,
Enterprise Business Division, Technical Services America, Global
Parts Supply Chain Group, working off-site across the United
States. These workers meet the criteria under Section 222(a) of
the Act.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers of the Palo Alto, California
facility of the subject firm working off-site across the United
States.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by
Hewlett Packard’s decision to shift the supply of like or
directly competitive services to foreign countries.


The amended notice, applicable to TA-W-74,466, is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Enterprise

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 August 4, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hewlett Packard Company, Enterprise Business
Division, Technical Services Americas, Global Parts Supply
Chain Group, including on-site leased workers of QFlex, North
America Logistics, and UPS, Palo Alto, California. The workers
provide design services and sales compensation operations for
all of Hewlett Packard Company’s business groups.
The investigation revealed that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company who are engaged in employment related to design
services and sales compensation operations 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 shifted to foreign countries the supply of services like
or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of design
services and sales compensation operations to China, Costa
Rica, India, and Mexico by Hewlett Packard Company contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Hewlett Packard
Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Company, Enterprise Business Division, Technical Services
Americas, Global Parts Supply Chain Group, including on-site
leased workers of QFlex, North America Logistics, and UPS,
Palo Alto, California, who are engaged in employment related to
design services and sales compensation operations, 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 Hewlett Packard Company, Enterprise
Business Division, Technical Services Americas, Global
Parts Supply Chain Group, including on-site leased
workers of QFlex, North America Logistics, and UPS, Palo
Alto, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 22, 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.”
