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 25, 2015 by the State of Iowa on behalf of
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ES Business Process Services
Fulfillment and Logistics Division, including on-site leased
workers from XPO Logistics, Des Moines, Iowa (TA-W-90,305), and
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ES Business Process Services
Fulfillment and Logistics Division, including on-site leased
workers from XPO Logistics, Des Moines, Iowa (TA-W-90,305A)
(hereafter collectively referred to as “HPE-ES Business Process
Services Fulfillment and Logistics Division-Iowa”). Workers of
HPE-ES Business Process Services Fulfillment and Logistics
Division-Iowa are engaged in activities related to the supply of
business process 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 HPE-ES Business Process Services
Fulfillment and Logistics Division-Iowa 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 services like or
directly competitive with the business process services supplied
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at HPE-ES Business Process Services Fulfillment and
Logistics Division-Iowa.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of HPE-ES Business Process
Services Fulfillment and Logistics Division-Iowa, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of business process 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ES Business
Process Services Fulfillment and Logistics Division,
including on-site leased workers from XPO Logistics, Des
Moines, Iowa (TA-W-90,305), and Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
ES Business Process Services Fulfillment and Logistics
Division, including on-site leased workers from XPO
Logistics, Des Moines, Iowa (TA-W-90,305A), 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 8th day of April, 2016
