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 29, 2010 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Datrose, working on-site at Xerox, 800 Phillips Road,
Building 205, Webster, New York. The workers are engaged in
activities related to customer service and accounts payable
services under the operational control of Xerox.
The investigation revealed that workers of Datrose, who are
engaged in activities related to customer service and accounts
payable services for Xerox, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at Datrose, working on-site at Xerox, have become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by Xerox to a foreign country in the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by
Datrose.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
by Xerox contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Datrose.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Datrose, working on-
site at Xerox, 800 Phillips Road, Building 205, Webster, New
York, who are engaged in activities related to customer service
and accounts payable 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 Datrose, working on-site at Xerox, 800
Phillips Road, Building 205, Webster, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
October 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 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 16th day of December, 2010
