In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as

a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance on January 26, 2011, applicable to workers of Dow

At the request of a company official, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in activities related to the production

New information shows Generate, Inc., is a subsidiary of Dow

Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers of Generate, Inc., Boston,
Massachusetts in support of Dow Jones & Company, Inc., Dow Jones
Content Services, Princeton, New Jersey.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers employed at Dow Jones & Company, Inc., Dow Jones

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;
(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 November 2, 2011 on behalf of workers of Aerotek, Inc.,
working on-site at Dow Jones Corporation, Princeton, New Jersey
(Aerotek, Inc.). The workers’ firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of digital newsletters.
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 shifted to a foreign country the production of an article
like or directly competitive with the article produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Aerotek, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Aerotek, Inc., working
on-site at Dow Jones Corporation, Princeton, New Jersey, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of digital
newsletters 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 Aerotek, Inc., working on-site at Dow Jones
Corporation, Princeton, New Jersey, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 13,
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 26th day of January, 2012.
