VOLT MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

AUSTIN, TEXAS


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 June 18, 2013 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Volt Management Corporation, working as on-site leased workers
at Apple Inc., Austin, Texas (hereafter "subject firm").
Workers of Volt Management Corporation who are on-site at Apple
Inc. are engaged in activities related to the supply of
development support services. The subject worker group excludes
workers of Volt Management Corporation who are not on-site at
Apple Inc. in Austin, Texas.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from Volt Management Corporation and Apple Inc.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers at Volt Management
Corporation on-site at Apple Inc., Austin, Texas, 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 a(n)
services like or directly competitive with the development
support services supplied by the workers, which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Volt Management
Corp, working as on-site leased workers at Apple Inc., Austin,
Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Volt Management Corp,
working as on-site leased workers at Apple Inc., Austin, Texas,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
development 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 Volt Management Corp, working as on-site
leased workers at Apple Inc., Austin, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
June 11, 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 9th day of August, 2013
