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 10, 2013 on behalf of workers of Walgreen Company,
Enterprise Shared Services Division, Mainframe IT Operations
Department, Mount Prospect, Illinois (Walgreen). The worker group
is engaged in activities related to the supply of information
technology (IT) operations support services for Walgreen. The
worker group includes on-site leased workers from Q1 Technologies
and TATA Consulting Services.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Walgreen have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened with total or partial
separation.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with IT operations support services supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Walgreen.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Walgreen Company,
Enterprise Shared Services Division, Mainframe IT Operations
Department, including on-site leased workers from Q1 Technologies
and TATA Consulting Services, Mount Prospect, Illinois, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of IT operations 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 Walgreen Company, Enterprise Shared Services
Division, Mainframe IT Operations Department, including on-
site leased workers from Q1 Technologies and TATA Consulting
Services, Mount Prospect, Illinois, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after June 17, 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."
