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 20, 2016, on behalf of workers of Waste Management
National Services, Inc., Centralized Billing Center, a subsidiary
of Waste Management Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Robert Half International, Inc., Talentnet, Inc., and
Icon Consultants, Phoenix, Arizona (Waste Management National
Services-Centralized Billing Center). The subject firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of support services to
affiliated Waste Management entities. The subject worker group
(Waste Management National Services-Centralized Billing Center)
supplies billing services, such as billing, collections,
information technology, and related support services. Workers are
separately identifiable by service supplied.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Waste Management National
Services-Centralized Billing 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 services like or
directly competitive with the billing services supplied by the
subject worker group which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at Waste Management National Services-
Centralized Billing Center.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Waste Management
National Services-Centralized Billing Center, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of billing 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 Waste Management National Services, Inc.,
Centralized Billing Center, a subsidiary of Waste Management
Holdings, Inc., including on-site leased workers from Robert
Half International, Inc., Talentnet, Inc., and Icon
Consultants, Phoenix, Arizona, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 19, 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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 12th day of August 2016.
