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 November 5, 2010, on behalf of workers of CompuCom
Systems, Inc., I-4 Division, Menlo Park, California (subject
firm). The workers supplied security services related to
information technology to clients in the communication
industry.
For purposes of this investigation, the subject firm
includes any successor-in-interest.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in employment related to the supply of
security services, related to information technology, meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers at the subject firm has become totally or partially
separated during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm has
shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with those supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
to England contributed importantly to worker group separations
at the Menlo Park, California facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CompuCom Systems,
Inc., I-4 Division, Menlo Park, California, who are engaged in
employment related to the supply of security services related to
information technology, meet the worker group certification
criteria 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 CompuCom Systems, Inc., I-4 Division,
Menlo Park, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 2, 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."
