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 November 19, 2015 by the State Workforce office on
behalf of Carlson Wagonlit Travel, a subsidiary of Carlson
Wagonlit Travel, Inc., Technical Service Center, St. Louis,
Missouri (Carlson Wagonlit Travel-Technical Service Center).
Workers of Carlson Wagonlit Travel are engaged in activities
related to the supply of travel management services, including
on-line help desk services. The subject worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
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 Carlson Wagonlit Travel-
Technical Service Center 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(n)
services like or directly competitive with the services supplied
by the subject workers, which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Carlson Wagonlit Travel-Technical Service
Center.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Carlson Wagonlit
Travel, Technical Service Center, St. Louis, Missouri, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of travel management
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 Carlson Wagonlit Travel, a subsidiary of
Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Inc., Technical Service Center,
St. Louis, Missouri, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after November 18, 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."
