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 October 21, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Hospital Products
Division, including on-site leased workers from Aerotek,
Delta-Pharma/Randstad, Hiregenics, Kelly Services, Inc., Kelly
Mitchell, Manpower, RJ2, Spectraforce Technologies, Inc., and
Swoon Technology Resources, Inc., Englewood, Colorado, (herein
referred to as "Baxter Healthcare Corporation"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the production of
compounders and compounding disposables used in hospital
pharmacies for TPN, oral dispensing systems.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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 acquired from a foreign country articles like or
directly competitive with articles produced by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Baxter
Healthcare Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Baxter Healthcare
Corporation, Hospital Products Division, including on-site
leased workers from Aerotek, Delta-Pharma/Randstad,
Hiregenics, Kelly Services, Inc., Kelly Mitchell, Manpower,
RJ2, Spectraforce Technologies, Inc., and Swoon Technology
Resources, Inc., Englewood, Colorado, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of compounders and
compounding disposables 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 Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Hospital
Products Division, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Delta-Pharma/Randstad, Hiregenics, Kelly
Services, Inc., Kelly Mitchell, Manpower, RJ2,
Spectraforce Technologies, Inc., and Swoon Technology
Resources, Inc., Englewood, Colorado, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after October
20, 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 15th day of November 2016.
