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 June 26, 2012 by the state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Thomson Reuters, Finance Operations & Technology
Division, Eagan, Minnesota. The worker group is engaged in
activities related to the supply of financial and administrative
services for their firm. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Adecco.
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 financial and
administrative services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Thomson Reuters, Finance Operations &
Technology Division, Eagan, Minnesota.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Thomson Reuters,
Finance Operations & Technology Division, Eagan, Minnesota, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of financial and
administrative 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 Thomson Reuters, Finance Operations &
Technology Division, including on-site leased workers from
Adecco, Eagan, Minnesota, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 25, 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.”
