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 15, 2011 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of CGI Technologies and Solutions, Inc.,
Processing Services, Andover, Massachusetts (CGI). The workers
are engaged in activities related to supplying information
technology services.
The investigation revealed that workers of CGI who are
engaged in activities related to supplying information
technology services meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at CGI have become totally or
partially separated or are threatened with total or partial
separation.
Criterion II has been satisfied because there has been a
shift by CGI to a foreign country in the supply of services like
or directly competitive with those supplied by the CGI.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of supply of
information technology services to India by CGI contributed
importantly to worker group separations at CGI.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CGI Technologies and
Solutions, Inc., Processing Services, Andover, Massachusetts,
who are engaged in activities related to 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 CGI Technologies and Solutions, Inc.,
Processing Services, Andover, Massachusetts, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
February 14, 2010, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 16th day of March, 2011.
