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 November 1, 2012 on behalf of workers of Welch Allyn,
Inc., Finance Department, Skaneateles Falls, New York. The
worker group is engaged in activities related to the supply of
financial services for their firm such as accounts payable,
accounts receivable and credit services. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and
Contemporary Personnel 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 the services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Welch Allyn, Inc., Finance Department,
Skaneateles Falls, New York.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Welch Allyn, Inc.,
Finance Department, Skaneateles Falls, New York, 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 Welch Allyn, Inc., Finance Department,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services and
Contemporary Personnel Services, Skaneateles Falls, New
York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after October 31, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of November, 2012
