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 February 13, 2013 by the Texas Workforce Commission on
behalf of workers of Dell Inc., Dell Financial Services LLC
(DFS), Operations Organization, Round Rock, Texas. The
workers' firm is engaged in development, production and sales of
computers and related products and services. The worker group
supplies financial support services.
Workers of the Dell Inc., Dell Financial Services LLC
(DFS), Operations Organization were employed at 701 East
Parmer Lane, Building 2, Austin, Texas and later migrated to
the facility at One Dell Way, Round Rock, Texas.
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 financial support services
supplied by the workers, which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Dell Inc., Dell Financial Services
LLC (DFS), Operations Organization, Round Rock, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dell Inc., Dell
Financial Services LLC (DFS), Operations Organization, Round
Rock, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of financial support 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 Dell Inc., Dell Financial Services LLC
(DFS), Operations Organization, Round Rock, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after February 12, 2012 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 16th day of April, 2013.
