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 December 18, 2015 on behalf of workers of HCL America
Inc., ERS (Engineering R&D Services) Division, a subsidiary of
HCL Technologies Ltd., HCL Bermuda Ltd. and Axon Group Ltd.,
Naperville, Illinois (HCL America-ERS). Workers of HCL America-
ERS (subject worker group) are engaged in activities related to
the supply of software development, hardware development and
tests and related support services. The subject worker group
includes on-site leased workers from Hands In Motion, Inc.
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 HCL America-ERS 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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at HCL
America-ERS.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of HCL America Inc., ERS
(Engineering R&D Services) Division, Naperville, Illinois, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of software
development, hardware development and tests and related support
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 HCL America Inc., ERS (Engineering R&D
Services) Division, a subsidiary of HCL Technologies Ltd.,
HCL Bermuda Ltd. and Axon Group Ltd., including on-site
leased workers from Hands In Motion, Inc., Naperville,
Illinois, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after December 17, 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."
