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;
(2)(B)(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
(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; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 14, 2011 on behalf of workers of The Travelers
Indemnity Company, Select Operations Support Processors
Division, a subsidiary of The Travelers Companies, Elmira, New
York (Travelers Elmira). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of incoming and outgoing mail
functions, internal mail delivery, indexing of documents for
records retention, supply ordering, and generation of insured
communications such as letters, questionnaires, and auto
identification cards for property casualty insurance company.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Kelly, PPO.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because 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.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Travelers Elmira.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Travelers
Indemnity Company, Select Operations Support Processors
Division, a subsidiary of The Travelers Companies, including
on-site leased workers from Kelly, PPO, Elmira, New York, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of incoming and
outgoing mail functions, internal mail delivery, indexing of

casualty insurance company 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 The Travelers Indemnity Company, Select
Operations Support Processors Division, a subsidiary of
The Travelers Companies, including on-site leased workers
from Kelly, PPO, Elmira, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after October 13,

separation from employment on December 20, 2011 through two
years from the date of certification, are eligible to apply
