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 February 27, 2012 by three workers of Infinite
Convergence Solutions, Inc., Messaging Software Division, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Infinite Computer Solutions, Inc.,
Arlington Heights, Illinois (subject firm). The workers’ firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of messaging
software services for the wireless telecom industry.
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 the subject 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 messaging software
service supplied by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Infinite Convergence Solutions,
Inc., Messaging Software Division, Arlington Heights,
Illinois.




Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Infinite
Convergence Solutions, Inc., Messaging Software Division,
Arlington Heights, Illinois, who were engaged in activities
related to the supply of messaging software 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 Infinite Convergence Solutions, Inc.,
Messaging Software Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Infinite Computer Solutions, Inc., Arlington Heights,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after February 27, 2011 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 11th day of April, 2012.
