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 28, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of International Rehabilitative Services, DNC, d/b/a RS
Medical, Finance and Sales Divisions, Vancouver, Washington (RS
Medical). The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Robert Half Finance & Accounting, Accountemps and NW Staffing
Resources, Inc., and workers reporting to the Vancouver,
Washington facility.
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 the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the sales, billing, order entry, and
customer services supplied by RS Medical, which contributed
importantly to the worker group separations at RS Medical.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of International
Rehabilitative Services, DNC, D/B/A RS Medical Finance and Sales
Divisions, Vancouver, Washington, who are engaged in employment
related to the supply of sales, billing, order entry, and customer
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 International Rehabilitative Services, DNC,
D/B/A RS Medical, Finance and Sales Divisions, including
workers reporting to Vancouver, Washington and on-site leased
workers from Robert Half Finance & Accounting, Accountemps,
and NW Staffing Resources, Inc., Vancouver, Washington, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 27, 2011, 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 23rd day of March, 2012
