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:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 15, 2011, by a state agency representative on
behalf of workers of Solix CMR, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Innovative Staff Solutions, Effingham, Illinois
(TA-W-75,298) and Charleston, Illinois (TA-W-75,298A). The
workers supply call center services.
The investigation revealed that workers of Solix CMR, LLC,
Effingham, Illinois (TA-W-75,298) and Charleston, Illinois (TA-
W-75,298A), who are engaged in employment related to call center
services, meet the criteria for certification.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number of workers have been separated during the relevant
period in both of the workers groups.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales of
call center services supplied by Solix CMR, LLC, have decreased
absolutely during the relevant period.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the call
center services supplied by the Solix CMR, LLC, have increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales declines at the Effingham
and Charleston, Illinois facilities.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Solix CMR, LLC,
Effingham, Illinois (TA-W-75,298) and Charleston, Illinois (TA-
W-75,298A), who are engaged in employment related to call center
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 Solix CMR, LLC, including on-site leased
workers from Innovative Staff Solutions, Effingham,
Illinois (TA-W-75,298) and Charleston, Illinois (TA-W-
75,298A), 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 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 in Washington, D.C., this 22nd day of June, 2011
