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 27, 2012 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Lawson Software, Inc., St. Paul, Minnesota (Lawson).
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of software. Specifically, the workers develop the
software and provide consulting and support activities related to
the software produced. The subject worker group includes remote
workers working from home in Minnesota who report to Lawson, St.
Paul, Minnesota and workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages were reported through Lawson Software Americas, Inc. and
Infor, Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioner.
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 activities related to the
production of an article like or directly competitive with the
article produced by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Lawson.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lawson Software, Inc.,
including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were
reported through Lawson Software Americas, Inc. and Infor, Inc.,
and including remote workers working from home in Minnesota
reporting to, St. Paul, Minnesota, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of software 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 Lawson Software, Inc., including workers
whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages were reported
through Lawson Software Americas, Inc. and Infor, Inc., and
including remote workers working from home in Minnesota
reporting to, St. Paul, Minnesota, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 26,
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.”
