GROUP, AND WORKFORCE CONNECTION OF CENTRAL MEXICO

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 July 2, 2013 on behalf of workers of Liquid Common
Inc. DBA Table Tents, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The worker
group is inclusive of on-site leased workers from Excel Staffing
Companies, Hubport Group, Commercial Finance Group, and the
Workforce Connection of Central New Mexico. The subject firm
is a digital marketing services firm. The workers are engaged
in activities related to the production, daily maintenance and
customer support of websites.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
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 production of websites
like or directly competitive with the websites produced by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Liquid Common Inc. DBA Table Tents.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Liquid Common Inc.
DBA Table Tents, including on-site leased workers from Excel
Staffing Companies, Hubport Group, Commercial Finance Group,
and the Workforce Connection of Central New Mexico,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, who are engaged in activities related
to the production, daily maintenance and customer support of
websites, 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 Liquid Common Inc. DBA Table Tents,
including on-site leased workers from on-site leased
workers from Excel Staffing Companies, Hubport Group,
Commercial Finance Group, and the Workforce Connection of
Central New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 1, 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 26th day of July, 2013.
