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 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 25, 2010 on behalf of the workers of Brinker
International, Accounting Division, Dallas, Texas. The workers
provide corporate accounting services. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Accountemps and Right Hire.
The investigation revealed that workers of Brinker
International, Accounting Division, who are engaged in
accounting services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have become separated or are threatened with
separation during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired services from a foreign country like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the foreign
acquisition of services contributed importantly to worker
group separations in the Accounting Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Brinker
International, Accounting Division, including on-site leased
workers from Accountemps and Right Hire, Dallas, Texas, who are
engaged in activities related to accounting 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 Brinker International, Accounting Division,
including on-site leased workers from Accountemps and Right
Hire, Dallas, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 6, 2009,
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the 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 22nd day of October, 2010
