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 October 25, 2015 by a state workforce official on behalf
of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services, a subsidiary of Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Midrange Server Services Division, including
remote workers working from Michigan, Plano, Texas.
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of testing and certification services of gold standard
processes.
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 a service like or
directly competitive with the service supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations in the
Midrange Server Services Division.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Services, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of testing and certification services of gold standard
processes 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services, a
subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Midrange Server
Services Division, including remote workers working from
Michigan, Plano, Texas engaged in activities related to the
supply of testing and certification services of gold standard
processes, 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 7th day of April 2016.
