Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on April 30, 2012, applicable to workers of
Worley Parsons, Accounts Payable, a subsidiary of Worley Parsons
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from GAS Unlimited
and The Mergis Group, Pasadena, Texas. The workers firm provides
engineering and design services. The Account Payable Group
provides financial services. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on October 17, 2012 (77 FR 63875).
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. New
information shows that Bellaire, Texas is a sister facility of
the Pasadena, Texas location. Both locations experienced worker
separations during the relevant time period due to a shift in
services to Malaysia. Information from the company also shows
that leased workers from Tatum LLC were employed on-site at the
Pasadena, Texas and the Bellaire, Texas locations of the subject
firm. Also, the original decision covered the Accounts Payable
and Accounts Receivable departments. At the request of the
company, only Accounts Payable is covered by this certification.
Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to
include workers of the Bellaire, Texas location of the subject
firm, include on-site leased workers from Tatum LLC and to
correctly identify the worker group to only include Accounts
payable.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in services to Malaysia.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-81,445 and TA-W-
81,445A are hereby issued as follows:
"All workers from Worley Parsons Group, a subsidiary of
Worley Parsons Corporation, Accounts Payable, including
on-site leased workers from GAS Unlimited, The Mergis
Group and Tatum LLC, Pasadena, Texas (TA-W-81,445) and
Worley Parsons Group, a subsidiary of Worley Parsons
Corporation, Accounts Payable, including on-site leased
workers from GAS Unlimited, The Mergis Group and Tatum
LLC, Bellaire, Texas (TA-W-81,445A), who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after
March 22, 2011 through April 30, 2014, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on 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.”

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 March 23, 2012 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on behalf of
workers of Worley Parsons Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Worley
Parsons Corporation, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable,
Pasadena, Texas (Worley Parsons Group, Inc., Accounts Payable and
Accounts Receivable,). The worker group includes on-site leased
workers from GAS Unlimited and The Mergis Group. The workers’ firm
supplies engineering and design services. The worker group
provides financial services to the firm.
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 supply of services like or
directly competitive with the financial services supplied by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Worley Parsons Group, Inc., Accounts Payable and Accounts
Receivable.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Worley Parsons Group,
Inc., a subsidiary of Worley Parsons Corporation, Accounts Payable
and Accounts Receivable, including on-site leased workers from GAS
Unlimited and The Mergis Group, Pasadena, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of financial 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 Worley Parsons Group, Inc., a subsidiary of
Worley Parsons Corporation, Accounts Payable and Accounts
Receivable, including on-site leased workers from GAS
Unlimited and The Mergis Group, Pasadena, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
March 22, 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.”
