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 August 17, 2016, applicable to workers of Mattel,
Inc., Mattel Global Shared Service Solutions (MGSSS), East
Aurora, New York, including on-site leased workers from Personnel
Resources, Inc. (Pro), Selective Staffing Solutions LLC, Superior
Talent Resources, Inc., and Genpact International, Inc. The
Department’s notice of determination was published in the Federal
Register on November 9, 2016 (81 FR 78858).
At the request of a state workforce office, the Department
reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The
workers were engaged in activities related to the supply of
transactional finance and accounting services, including
administration of payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
general ledger, and employee services.
The company reports that workers leased from Personnel
Resources, Inc. (Pro), Selective Staffing Solutions LLC, Superior
Talent Resources, Inc., Genpact International, Inc., Talentburst,
and Netplarity were employed on-site at the East Aurora, New York
location of Mattel, Inc., Mattel Global Shared Service Solutions
(MGSSS), East Aurora, New York. 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 Personnel Resources,
Inc. (Pro), Selective Staffing Solutions LLC, Superior Talent
Resources, Inc., Genpact International, Inc., Talentburst, and
Netplarity working on-site at the East Aurora, New York location of
Mattel, Inc., Mattel Global Shared Service Solutions (MGSSS).
New information shows that some workers separated from
employment at Mattel, Inc. had their wages reported through name
Fisher Price. Fisher Price is a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-92,015 is hereby issued
as follows:

"All workers of Mattel, Inc., Mattel Global Shared
Service Solutions (MGSSS), Personnel Resources, Inc.
(Pro), Selective Staffing Solutions LLC, Superior
Talent Resources, Inc., Genpact International, Inc.,
Talentburst, and Netplarity, including workers whose
wages were reported through Fisher Price, East Aurora,
New York, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after July 13, 2015, through August 17,
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 14th 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 July 15, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf of workers
of Mattel, Inc., Mattel Global Shared Service Solutions (MGSSS),
East Aurora, New York. The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of transactional finance and accounting
services, including administration of payroll, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, and employee
services. The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from Personnel Resources, Inc. (Pro), Selective Staffing
Solutions LLC, Superior Talent Resources, Inc., and Genpact
International, Inc.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Mattel, Inc., Mattel
Global Shared Service Solutions (MGSSS), East Aurora, New York.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Mattel, Inc., Mattel
Global Shared Service Solutions (MGSSS), including on-site leased
workers from Personnel Resources, Inc. (Pro), Selective Staffing
Solutions LLC, Superior Talent Resources, Inc., and Genpact
International, Inc., East Aurora, New York, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of transactional finance and
accounting services, including administration of payroll,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, and
employee 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 Mattel, Inc., Mattel Global Shared Service
Solutions (MGSSS), including on-site leased workers from
Personnel Resources, Inc. (Pro), Selective Staffing
Solutions LLC, Superior Talent Resources, Inc., and Genpact
International, Inc., East Aurora, New York, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
July 13, 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 17th day of August 2016.
