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 30, 2010 on behalf of workers of MedRisk, Inc.,
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. (hereinafter referred to as
MedRisk, Inc.). The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Express Employment Professionals, Contemporary Staffing
Solutions, PeopleShare, The Dubin Group, MissionStaff, and
Intepros. The workers supply medical and technology services.
The investigation revealed that workers of MedRisk, Inc.,
who supply medical and technology services, meet the criteria
for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers have been separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country medical and technology
services.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
medical and technology services from India and the Philippines
by MedRisk, Inc. contributed importantly to worker group
separations at the King of Prussia, Pennsylvania facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of MedRisk, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Express Employment
Professionals, Contemporary Staffing Solutions, PeopleShare, The
Dubin Group, MissionStaff, and Intepros, King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania, who supply medical and 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 MedRisk, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Express Employment Professionals, Contemporary
Staffing Solutions, PeopleShare, The Dubin Group,
MissionStaff, and Intepros, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 27, 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 24th day of September, 2010.
