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 September 3, 2015 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of AIG PC Global Services, Inc., Fusion – Berkeley
Heights division, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey (herein known as
“Fusion – Berkeley Heights”). Fusion – Berkeley Heights is a
division within AIG’s Commercial Insurance segment providing
support services for AIG’s U.S. Casualty Insurance division.
The subject firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of insurance and financial services. The petitioning
workers are engaged in activities related to the supply of
business support services for the Casualty Insurance division
within the United States.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Fusion – Berkeley Heights.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of AIG PC Global
Services, Inc., Fusion – Berkeley Heights division, Berkeley
Heights, New Jersey, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of supply of business support services for the Casualty
Insurance division 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 AIG PC Global Services, Inc., Fusion –
Berkeley Heights division, Berkeley Heights, New Jersey,
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 17th day of March 2016.
