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 January 28, 2011, by a state workforce official on
behalf of workers of Volvo Group North America, LLC, Volvo
Information Technology Division, a subsidiary of AB Volvo,
Greensboro, North Carolina. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Ajilon, Andreas Hug Informatik, Apex, Comp
Logic, Computernet Resources Group, FYI, Geometric, Martineu
Recruiting, Mindtree, Perficient, Pomeroy, Presens, Sigma
Softec, Systemtec, Tek Systems and Xdinat. The workers supply
information technology services related to motor vehicle
manufacturing.
The investigation revealed that workers of Volvo Group
North America, LLC, Volvo Information Technology Division, who
supply information technology services, meet the criteria for
certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant proportion
of the workers at Volvo Group North America, LLC, Volvo
Information Technology Division have been totally or partially
separated or threatened with total or partial separation
during the relevant period.
Criterion II has been satisfied because Volvo Group North
America, LLC, Volvo Information Technology Division has shifted
to a foreign country the supply of services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by the firm.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of services
contributed importantly to the worker group separations and
threatened separations at the Greensboro, North Carolina
facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Volvo Group North
America, LLC, Volvo Information Technology Division, a
subsidiary of AB Volvo, Greensboro, North Carolina, who supply
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 Volvo Group North America, LLC., Volvo
Information Technology Division, a subsidiary of AB Volvo,
including on-site leased workers from Ajilon, Andreas Hug
Informatik, Apex, Comp Logic, Computernet Resources Group,
FYI, Geometric, Martineu Recruiting, Mindtree, Perficient,
Pomeroy, Presens, Sigma Softec, Systemtec, Tek Systems and
Xdinat, Greensboro, North Carolina, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 27,
2010, 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."
