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 18, 2010 by three workers of Xerox Corporation,
Inside Sales Supply Center, Lewisville, Texas. The workers
provide supply sales support services. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers of Spherion, Superior
Staffing-SSSD, Manpower, and CTG Lewisville.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject firm
meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant percentage
of workers at the subject firm have been separated during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the subject firm
has shifted supply support services to Jamaica and St. Lucia
during the relevant period.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in services
by the subject firm to Jamaica and St. Lucia contributed
importantly to worker group separations at the subject firm.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the Xerox
Corporation, Inside Sales Supply Center, including on-site
leased workers of Spherion, Superior Staffing-SSSD, Manpower,
and CTG Lewisville, Lewisville Texas, who are engaged in supply
support 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 Xerox Corporation, Inside Sales Supply
Center, including on-site leased workers of Spherion,
Superior Staffing-SSSD, Manpower, and CTG Lewisville,
Lewisville Texas, who became totally or partially separated


from employment on or after July 30, 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 9th day of September, 2010
