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 December 18, 2013 on behalf of workers of Cmed Inc.,
New Providence, New Jersey. The worker group is also inclusive
of on-site leased workers from The Clinical Resource Network and
remote subject firm workers working from home but reporting to
the subject location. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of administrative support
services, serving as the headquarters of the group in support of
their main operation as a clinical trials company that
specializes in providing state-of-the-art technology products
and services.
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 supply of some
services like or directly competitive with some of the services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Cmed Inc.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cmed Inc., including
on-site leased workers from The Clinical Resource Network and
remote workers, New Providence, New Jersey, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of administrative 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 Cmed Inc., including on-site leased workers
from The Clinical Resource Network and remote workers, New
Providence, New Jersey, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 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 14th day of February, 2014.
