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 August 13, 2013 by three workers on behalf of workers of
CardioNet, LLC, a subsidiary of BioTelemetry, Inc., Insurance
Verification and ECG Report Interpretation Services,
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania (CardioNet-Insurance Verification and
ECG Report Interpretation Services). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply cardiac monitoring
services. Workers of CardioNet-Insurance Verification and ECG
Report Interpretation Services (subject worker group) supply
insurance verification and ECG report interpretation services.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers from
Contemporary Staffing Solutions, Inc., Pathfinders, Peopleshare,
Express, and Firstpro, Inc.
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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with those supplied by the subject workers,
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
CardioNet- Insurance Verification and ECG Report Interpretation
Services.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CardioNet, LLC,
Insurance Verification and ECG Report Interpretation Services,
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, who are engaged in activities related
to the supply of insurance verification and ECG report
interpretation 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 CardioNet, LLC, a subsidiary of
BioTelemetry, Inc., Insurance Verification and ECG Report
Interpretation Services, including on-site leased workers
from Contemporary Staffing Solutions, Inc., Pathfinders,
Peopleshare, Express, and Firstpro, Inc., Conshohocken,
Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 9, 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 12th day of September, 2013
