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 May 29, 2015 by a State Workforce Office on behalf of
workers of UBM, LLC, a subsidiary of UBM, plc, Shared Services
Division, Manhasset, New York (UBM-Shared Services). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
event and media services industry. Workers of UMB-Shared
Services supply accounts payable/receivable and credit services.
The subject worker group (UBM-Shared Services) includes on-site
leased workers from Robert Half, Aerotek, Accounting Principals,
and Kelly 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 UBM-Shared Services 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(s) the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the accounts
payable/receivable and credit services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
UBM-Shared Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of UBM-Shared Services,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of accounts
payable/receivable and credit 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 UBM, LLC, a subsidiary of UBM, plc, Shared
Services Division, including on-site leased workers from
Robert Half, Aerotek, Accounting Principals, and Kelly
Services, Manhasset, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 28,
2014, 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 16th day of October, 2015
