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 14, 2015 by a State Workforce Office on
behalf of workers of Tech Mahindra (Americas), Inc., a
subsidiary of Tech Mahindra Limited, Piscataway, New Jersey.
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of application support services for AT&T.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the major declining customer,
and former worker.
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 Tech
Mahindra (Americas), Inc., a subsidiary of Tech Mahindra Limited,
Piscataway, New Jersey.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I determine that workers of Tech Mahindra (Americas), Inc., a
subsidiary of Tech Mahindra Limited, Piscataway, New Jersey, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of application support
services for AT&T 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 Tech Mahindra (Americas), Inc., a subsidiary
of Tech Mahindra Limited, Piscataway, 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 15th day of December 2015.
