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 December 5, 2012 by a company official on behalf of
workers of The Nielsen Company (US), LLC, 3200 Riverside Drive, a
subsidiary of A.C. Nielsen Company, LLC, including workers from
Adecco, Green Bay, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,206) and The Nielsen
Company (US), LLC, a subsidiary of A.C. Nielsen Company, LLC,
including workers from Adecco, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (TA-W-
82,206A) (The Nielsen Company). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of data production for consumer
research.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at The
Nielsen Company.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The Nielsen Company
(US), LLC, 3200 Riverside Drive, a subsidiary of A.C. Nielsen
Company, LLC, including workers from Adecco, Green Bay, Wisconsin
(TA-W-82,206) and The Nielsen Company (US), LLC, a subsidiary of
A.C. Nielsen Company, LLC, including workers from Adecco, Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,206A), who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of data production for consumer research
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 The Nielsen Company (US), LLC, 3200
Riverside Drive, a subsidiary of A.C. Nielsen Company, LLC,
including workers from Adecco, Green Bay, Wisconsin (TA-W-
82,206) and The Nielsen Company (US), LLC, a subsidiary of
A.C. Nielsen Company, LLC, including workers from Adecco,
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin (TA-W-82,206A), who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 4,
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 11th day of January, 2013.
