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 on behalf of workers of Moulton
Logistics Management, Call Center Services Division, including
on-site leased workers from Select Staffing, Accountabilities
and Barrington Staffing, Van Nuys, California (Moulton). The
workers supply call center services for the staffing industry.
The investigation revealed that workers of Moulton, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of call center
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number of
workers in the workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated or threatened with such separation.
Criterion II has been met because the workers' firm has
shifted to foreign countries the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the call center services supplied by
the subject worker group.
Criterion III has been met because the shift in the
supply of services to the Philippines and Costa Rica
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Moulton
Logistics Management, Call Center Services Division, Van Nuys,
California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Moulton Logistics
Management, Call Center Services Division, Van Nuys, California,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of call
center services, 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 Moulton Logistics Management, Call Center
Services Division, including on-site leased workers from
Select Staffing, Accountabilities and Barrington Staffing,
Van Nuys, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after February 11, 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 6th day of April, 2011
