Amended 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 issued
a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on February 8, 2010, applicable to workers of The UBS
Group, a division of UBS AG, also known as UBS Financial
Services, Inc., and/or UBS-GLB (Americas), Inc., Corporate Center
Division, Group Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed
Systems and Storage Group, Chicago, Illinois. The workers
provide information technology services.
The notice was published in the Federal Register on December 8,
2010 (75 FR 76488).
At the request of the company, the Department reviewed the
certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information shows that, due to an organizational change
within UBS Services LLC, the unit formerly known as Group
Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed Systems and
Storage is currently known as Group Technology Infrastructure
Services, Infrastructure Service Delivery Compute Investment
Bank, Global Asset Management. Workers of Group Technology
Infrastructure Services, Infrastructure Service Delivery Compute
Investment Bank, Global Asset Management worked from home offices
and remote locations throughout the United States and reported to
the Jersey City, New Jersey facility.
Accordingly, the Department is amending this certification
to properly reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in information technology services to a foreign country.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,009 is hereby
issued as follows:
“All workers of UBS Group, a division of UBS AG, also known

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 December 16, 2010 by three workers on behalf of workers
of The UBS Group, a division of UBS AG, also known as UBS
Financial Services, Inc. and/or UBS-GLB (Americas), Inc.,
Corporate Center Division, Group Technology Infrastructure
Services, Distributed Systems and Storage Group, Stamford,
Connecticut (TA-W-75,009); The UBS Group, a division of UBS AG,
Corporate Center Division, Group Technology Infrastructure
Services, Distributed Systems and Storage Group, Chicago,
Illinois (TA-W-75,009A); and The UBS Group, a division of UBS AG,
Corporate Center Division, Group Technology Infrastructure
Services, Distributed Systems and Storage Group, New York, New
York (TA-W-75,009B). The workers provide information technology
services.
The investigation revealed that workers of The UBS Group,
Corporate Center Division, Group Technology Infrastructure
Services, Distributed Systems and Storage Group who are engaged
in employment related to information technology services meet the
criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers have been separated over the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because the workers’ firm
has shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of information
technology services to Singapore by The UBS Group contributed
importantly to worker group separations at The UBS Group,
Corporate Center Division, Group Technology Infrastructure
Services, Distributed Systems and Storage Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The UBS Group, a
division of UBS AG, also known as UBS Financial Services, Inc.
and/or UBS-GLB (Americas), Inc., Corporate Center Division, Group
Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed Systems and
Storage Group, Stamford, Connecticut (TA-W-75,009); The UBS
Group, a division of UBS AG, Corporate Center Division, Group
Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed Systems and
Storage Group, Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-75,009A); and The UBS
Group, a division of UBS AG, Corporate Center Division, Group
Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed Systems and
Storage Group, New York, New York (TA-W-75,009B), who are engaged
in employment related to providing information 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 The UBS Group, a division of UBS AG, also
known as UBS Financial Services, Inc. and/or UBS-GLB
(Americas), Inc., Corporate Center Division, Group
Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed Systems and
Storage Group, Stamford, Connecticut (TA-W-75,009); The UBS
Group, a division of UBS AG, Corporate Center Division,
Group Technology Infrastructure Services, Distributed
Systems and Storage Group, Chicago, Illinois (TA-W-75,009A);
and The UBS Group, a division of UBS AG, Corporate Center
Division, Group Technology Infrastructure Services,
Distributed Systems and Storage Group, New York, New York
(TA-W-75,009B), who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after December 15, 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.”
