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 28, 2012 by a One-Stop Operator/Partner on
behalf of workers of ARAMARK Uniform Services (AUS), IT Support
Center, including on-site leased workers from B2B Staffing
Services, iSpace Agency and Odesus Agency, Burbank, California.
The subject worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of information technology (IT) services.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in the subject worker group 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 the supply of services like
or directly competitive with those supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at ARAMARK Uniform Services (AUS), IT Support Center, Burbank,
California.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of ARAMARK Uniform
Services (AUS), IT Support Center, Burbank, California, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology 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 ARAMARK Uniform Services (AUS), IT Support
Center, including on-site leased workers from B2B Staffing
Services, iSpace Agency and Odesus Agency, Burbank,
California, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 27, 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."
