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 March 26, 2013 by a state workforce agent on behalf of
workers of Wells Fargo & Company, Consumer Lending Group, Non-
Phone Credit Bureau Disputes within the Consumer Credit
Solutions, Beaverton, Oregon (subject firm). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the supply of credit bureau
dispute process services (non-phone). Workers within the Non-
Phone Credit Bureau Disputes within the Consumer Credit
Solutions unit are not separately identifiable by service
supplied. The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Randstad.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in the Non-Phone Credit Bureau
Disputes within the Consumer Credit Solutions unit of the
Consumer Lending Group of Wells Fargo & Company at Beaverton,
Oregon have become totally or partially separated, or are
threatened with such separation.
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 credit bureau dispute process
services (non-phone) supplied by the subject workers, which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at the Non-
Phone Credit Bureau Disputes within the Consumer Credit
Solutions unit of the Consumer Lending Group of Wells Fargo &
Company, in Beaverton, Oregon.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of the subject firm, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of credit bureau
dispute process services (non-phone), 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 Wells Fargo & Company, Consumer Lending
Group, Non-Phone Credit Bureau Disputes within the Consumer
Credit Solutions, including on-site leased workers from
Randstad, Beaverton, Oregon, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after March 25, 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 8th day of April, 2013
