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.
(iii)

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 14, 2013 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Harding Marketing Communications, Inc., Web/Interactive
Marketing Division, San Jose, California (Harding). The workers
are engaged in activities related to the supply of web
interactive marketing services. Workers are not separately
identifiable by service. The worker group does not include on-
site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers at Harding 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with those supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Harding.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harding Marketing
Communications, Inc., Web/Interactive Marketing Division, San
Jose, California, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of web interactive marketing 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 Harding Marketing Communications, Inc.,
Web/Interactive Marketing Division, San Jose, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after May 2, 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 14th day of June, 2013
