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 October 14, 2010 on behalf of workers of Xerox
Corporation, Human Resources Services Center, Lewisville, Texas.
The workers are engaged in activities related to human
resources administration services. The worker group includes
of on-site leased workers from Manpower, Inc., Select Staffing,
Paladin Consulting, Inc, and Spherion.
The investigation revealed that workers of the Human
Resources Services Center, who are engaged in activities
related to human resources administrative services, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers 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 of services to a foreign country by Xerox of services like
or directly competitive with the services provided by the Human
Resources Services Center.
Criterion III has been met because the shift services to
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the
Human Resources Services Center.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Xerox Corporation,
Human Resources Services Center, Lewisville, Texas, who are
engaged in activities related to human resources administrative
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, Human Resources Services
Center, including on-site leased workers from Manpower,
Inc., Select Staffing, Paladin Consulting, Inc, and
Spherion, Lewisville, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 13,
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."
