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 May 1, 2012 on behalf of workers of Healthcare
Corporation of America (HCA), HCA Mountain Division, Cottonwood
Heights, Utah. The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related
to the supply of medical transcription services. The subject
worker group includes workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages are reported through MountainStar Health, Inc. and off-site
workers from Utah who report to Cottonwood Heights, Colorado.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers’ firm and the petitioners.
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 services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at HCA.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Healthcare Corporation
of America (HCA), HCA Mountain Division, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported through
MountainStar Health, Inc., Cottonwood Heights, Utah, including
off-site workers from Utah reporting to Cottonwood Heights, Utah
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of medical
transcription 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 Healthcare Corporation of America (HCA), HCA
Mountain Division, including workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages are reported through MountainStar
Health, Inc., Cottonwood Heights, Utah, including off-site
workers from Utah reporting to Cottonwood Heights, Utah, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after April 30, 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.”
