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 April 19, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
Maersk Agency USA, Inc., a subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk
A/S, Finance Division, Charlotte, North Carolina (Maersk). The
subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from RemX
and remote workers in Madison, New Jersey reporting to the
Finance Division, Charlotte, North Carolina. The subject
workers are engaged in activities that support the provision of
financial services.
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 those supplied by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Maersk.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Maersk Agency USA,
Inc., a subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, Finance
Division, Charlotte, North Carolina, 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 Maersk Agency USA, Inc., Maersk Agency
USA, Inc., a subsidiary of A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S,
Finance Division, including on-site leased workers from
RemX and remote workers in Madison, New Jersey reporting
to the Finance Division, Charlotte, North Carolina, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 13, 2011, through two years from the date
of certification, 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."
