Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on September 5, 2016 applicable to workers
of Nike Foundation, Girl Effect, a subsidiary of Nike, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from ProUnlimited, Beaverton,
Oregon (TA-W-91,816). The Department’s notice of determination
was published in the Federal Register on December 2, 2016 (81 FR
87077).
At the request of the Oregon State Workforce Office, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of grant support services to charities and non-profit
organizations.
The company reports that workers leased from Rockefeller
Philanthropy Advisors Inc. and New Venture Fund were employed
on-site at Nike Foundation, Girl Effect, a subsidiary of Nike,
Inc., Beaverton, Oregon. The Department has determined that
these workers were sufficiently under the operational control of
the subject firm to be considered leased workers.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by a
shift in supply of grant support services to charities and non-
profit organizations.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Rockefeller
Philanthropy Advisors Inc. and New Venture Fund working on-site
at the Nike Foundation, Girl Effect, a subsidiary of Nike,
Inc., Beaverton, Oregon location of the subject firm.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-91,816 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers from Nike Foundation, Girl Effect, a
subsidiary of Nike, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from ProUnlimited, Rockefeller Philanthropy
Advisors Inc., and New Venture Fund, Beaverton,
Oregon who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 16, 2015 through September
5, 2018 and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on 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 13th day of February, 2017.

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 May 17, 2016 by a state workforce official on behalf
of workers of Nike Foundation, Girl Effect, a subsidiary of
Nike, Inc., including on-site leased workers from ProUnlimited,
Beaverton, Oregon (herein known as "Nike Foundation"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
grant support services to charities and non-profit
organizations.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 at Nike Foundation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Nike Foundation, Girl
Effect, a subsidiary of Nike, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from ProUnlimited, Beaverton, Oregon, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of grant 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 Nike Foundation, Girl Effect, a subsidiary
of Nike, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
ProUnlimited, Beaverton, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 16,
2015 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."
