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 May 31, 2013 on behalf of workers of Lester, Inc. a
subsidiary of Enlink Infotech, Wurtland, Kentucky. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
market research services.
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)(A)(ii) has been met because the
workers' firm has shifted services like or directly
competitive with the services supplied by Lester, Inc. to a
foreign country.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
the shift of services contributed importantly to the worker
group separations at Lester, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lester, Inc. a
subsidiary of Enlink Infotech, Wurtland, Kentucky, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of market research
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 Lester, Inc. a subsidiary of Enlink
Infotech, Wurtland, Kentucky, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 30,
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."
