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 31, 2015 on behalf of workers of American Express
Travel Related Services Company, Inc., Global Credit
Administration (GCA), Global Fraud Protection Services
Department (Fraud), and Strategy and Support Department
(Strategy), a subsidiary of American Express Company, Salt
Lake City, Utah (American Express Travel Related Services-GCA-
Fraud and Strategy). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of credit, collections, and fraud service
operations services. The worker groups (the Global Fraud
Protection Services Department and the Strategy and Support
Department) are separately identifiable by services supplied.
The subject worker group includes on-site leased/temporary
worker from Manpower.
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 American Express Travel
Related Services-GCA-Fraud and Strategy 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 services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at American
Express Travel Related Services-GCA-Fraud and Strategy.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of American Express
Travel Related Services Company, Inc., Global Credit
Administration (GCA), Global Fraud Protection Services
Department, and Strategy and Support Department, Salt Lake
City, Utah, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of credit, collections, and fraud service operations 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 American Express Travel Related Services
Company, Inc., Global Credit Administration (GCA), Global
Fraud Protection Services Department, and Strategy and
Support Department, a subsidiary of American Express
Company, including on-site leased worker from Manpower,
Salt Lake City, Utah, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after January 1, 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 5th day of November 2015.
