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(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers' firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened to become totally or partially separated;

(2) the workers' firm is a Supplier or Downstream
Producer to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such supply
or production is related to the article or service that
was the basis for such certification; and

(3) either
(A) the workers' firm is a supplier and the
component parts it supplied to the firm described in
paragraph (2) accounted for at least 20 percent of
the production or sales of the workers' firm;
or
(B) a loss of business by the workers' firm with the
firm described in paragraph (2) contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or threat of
separation.

Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), defines
the term "Supplier" as "a firm that produces and supplies
directly to another firm component parts for articles, or
services used in the production of articles or in the supply
of services, as the case may be, that were the basis for a
certification of eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section
222 of the Act] of a group of workers employed by such other
firm."
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 20, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services, General Motors
Shreveport Assembly Account, including on-site leased workers
from Radiant Systems, Shreveport, Louisiana. The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
information technology support services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(b)(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(b)(2) has been met because Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Services is a Supplier to a firm that employed a
group of workers who received a certification of eligibility
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply is related to the articles that were the basis for such
certification.
Section 222(b)(3)(B) has been met because the loss of
business by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services with the firm
that employed a certified worker group contributed importantly
to worker separations at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Services, General Motors Shreveport Assembly
Account, including on-site leased workers from Radiant
Systems, Shreveport, Louisiana, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of information technology support
services, meet the worker group certification criteria under
Section 222(b) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(b). In accordance
with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the
following certification:


"All workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services,
General Motors Shreveport Assembly Account, including on-
site leased workers from Radiant Systems, Shreveport,
Louisiana, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 15, 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 27th day of April, 2012.
