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 11, 2010 by a one-stop operator on behalf of
workers of Road 9, Inc., Greenwood Village, Colorado (Road 9).
The workers are engaged in activities related to chief
operations, accounting, and information technology services. The
group consists of on-site leased workers from TP-Administaff
Companies II, LP.
The investigation revealed that workers of Road 9 who are
engaged in activities related to chief operations, accounting,
and information technology services meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in the workers' firm must have become
totally or partially separated or are threatened with total or
partial separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Road 9 to a foreign country in the supply of services
like or directly competitive with those produced/supplied by
Road 9.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of chief
operations, accounting, and information technology services to
Mexico by Road 9 contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Road 9.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Road 9, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from TP-Administaff Companies
II, LP, Greenwood Village, Colorado, who are engaged in
activities related to chief operations, accounting, and
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:
"All workers of Road 9, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from TP-Administaff Companies II, LP, Greenwood
Village, Colorado, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 10, 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 25th day of August, 2010.
