SIEMENS SHARED SERVICES
TALENT SERVICES DIVISION
INCLUDING ON SITE LEASED WORKERS OF RANDSTAD SOURCERIGHT
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

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 July 13, 2016, applicable to workers
and former workers of Siemens Shared Services, Talent Services
Division, Orlando, Florida (subject firm). The subject firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of human resources
support services. The Department’s Notice of determination was
published in the Federal Register on August 23, 2016 (81 FR
57627).
In response to workers’ request, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.
The subject firm reports that workers from Randstad
Sourceright were employed on-site at the Orlando, Florida
location of Siemens Shared Services within the Talent Services
Division. The Department has determined that these workers were
sufficiently under the control of the subject firm to be
considered leased workers.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased from Randstad
Sourceright working on-site at the Orlando, Florida location of
Siemens Shared Services within the Talent Services Division.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-91,954 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Siemens Shared Services, Talent
Services Division, including on-site leased workers
from Randstad Sourceright, Orlando Florida, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 23, 2015, through July 13, 2018, 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 28th day of September, 2016

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 June 24, 2016 on behalf of workers of Siemens Shared
Services, Talent Services division, Orlando, Florida (herein
referred to as "Siemens Shared Services"). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of human
resources support services.
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 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 Siemens Shared Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Siemens Shared
Services, Talent Services division, Orlando, Florida, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of human resources
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 Siemens Shared Services, Talent Services
division, Orlando, Florida, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 23, 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."
