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 24, 2011, applicable to workers of Abbott
Laboratories, Diagnostics Division, including on-site leased
workers from Manpower, Comsys, Apex, Fountain Group, Kelly
Mitchell, Collaborative Technologies, Partners Consulting, Glotel
(Adecco), Innovative Alternatives, Collins, Consulting and On
Assignment, Irving, Texas. The workers are engaged in activities
related to the production of immunoassay diagnostic analyzers,
associated accessories, and spare parts. The notice was
published in the Federal Register on March 10, 2011 (76 FR
13232).
At the request of the Texas Workforce Commission, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. New information shows that workers leased from Manpower
are split into two separate groups; Experis US, Inc.
(professional) and Manpower of Texas Limited Partnership
(clerical) were employed on-site at the Irving, Texas location of
Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division. The Department has
determined that these workers were sufficiently under the control
of Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division to be considered
leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Manpower (Experis
US, Inc. and Manpower of Texas Limited Partnership) working on-
site at the Irving, Texas location of Abbott Laboratories,
Diagnostics Division.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-75,201 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics
Division, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower (Experis US, Inc., and Manpower of Texas
Limited Partnership), Comsys, Apex, Fountain Group,
Kelly Mitchell, Collaborative Technologies, Partners
Consulting, Glotel (Adecco), Innovative Alternatives,
Collins Consulting, and On Assignment, Irving, Texas,
who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 9, 2010, through
February 24, 2013, 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 at Washington, D.C. this 12th day of January 2012.

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 February 10, 2011 by a state workforce office and a
company official on behalf of workers of Abbott Laboratories,
Diagnostics Division, Irving, Texas (Abbott Laboratories Irving).
The workers are engaged in activities related to the production
of immunoassay diagnostic analyzers, associated accessories, and
spare parts. The worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Manpower, Comsys, Apex, Fountain Group, Kelly Mitchell,
Collaborative Technologies, Partners Consulting, Glotel (Adecco),
Innovative Alternatives, Collins Consulting, and On Assignment.
The investigation revealed that workers of Abbott
Laboratories Irving, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of immunoassay diagnostic analyzers, associated
accessories, and spare parts, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of workers in the workers’ firm have become totally or
partially separated, or threatened with such separation, during the
relevant period.
Criterion II has been met because the workers’ firm has
acquired from a foreign country articles like or directly
competitive with the articles produced by the subject workers.
Criterion III has been met because the acquisition of
immunoassay diagnostic analyzers, associated accessories, and spare
parts from a foreign country contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Abbott Laboratories Irving.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Abbott Laboratories,
Diagnostics Division, including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Comsys, Apex, Fountain Group, Kelly Mitchell,
Collaborative Technologies, Partners Consulting, Glotel (Adecco),
Innovative Alternatives, Collins Consulting, and On Assignment,
Irving, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of immunoassay diagnostic analyzers, associated
accessories, and spare parts, 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 Abbott Laboratories, Diagnostics Division,
including on-site leased workers from Manpower, Comsys,
Apex, Fountain Group, Kelly Mitchell, Collaborative
Technologies, Partners Consulting, Glotel (Adecco),
Innovative Alternatives, Collins Consulting, and On
Assignment, Irving, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 9, 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.”
