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 10, 2011 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Accenture LLP, working on-site at AT&T
Corporate Systems: Customer Financial Management, Morristown,
New Jersey. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related
to the supply of information technology services. The worker
group includes on-site leased workers from Collabera,
OmniPoint International, Inc., Mastech Inc. and Innovative
Working Solutions Inc.
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 supply of services
like or directly competitive with the information technology
services supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Accenture LLP.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Accenture LLP,
working on-site at AT&T Corporate Systems: Customer Financial
Management, Morristown, New Jersey, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of 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 Accenture LLP, including on-site leased
workers from Collabera, OmniPoint International, Inc.,
Mastech Inc. and Innovative Working Solutions Inc.,
working on-site at AT&T Corporate Systems: Customer
Financial Management, Morristown, 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.”
