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 September 28, 2016 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Sales Strategy and Operations
Division, including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI)
wages are reported under Hewlett Packard, Inc., Conway, Arkansas
(Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Sales Strategy and Operations
Division). The subject worker group (Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
Sales Strategy and Operations Division) is engaged in activities
related to the supply of sales planning and operations services.
Remote/teleworkers within Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Sales
Strategy and Operations Division who report to Conway, Arkansas
are part of the subject worker group. The subject worker group
does not include on-site leased workers.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Sales
Strategy and Operations Division 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 sales planning and operations
services supplied by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, Sales Strategy and Operations Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, Sales Strategy and Operations Division, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of sales planning and
operations 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Sales Strategy
and Operations Division, including workers whose
unemployment insurance (UI) wages are reported under
Hewlett Packard, Inc., Conway, Arkansas, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after September
27, 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 1th day of February 2017.
