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 27, 2016 by a company official on behalf of workers
of DLA, Inc., a subsidiary of Sercotel, S.A. de C.V., Doral,
Florida (herein referred to as "DLA, Inc."). Workers of the
subject firm are engaged in activities related to the supply of
video-on-demand (VOD) programming services. The worker group
includes on-site leased workers from TFI Resources, Inc.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in DLA, Inc. 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 VOD programming services
supplied by the workers which contributed importantly to worker
group separations at DLA, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DLA, Inc., who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of VOD programming
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 DLA, Inc., a subsidiary of Sercotel, S.A.
de C.V., including on-site leased workers from TFI
Resources, Inc., Doral, Florida, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after May 26,
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 25th day of July 2016.
