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 March 1, 2017, applicable to workers of FCR,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Independence,
Oregon (“subject firm”). The workers are engaged in activities
related to the supply of related to supply of customer support
services.
At the request of three workers, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm.
New information from the company confirmed that workers at
five other FCR locations in Oregon, engaged in activities
related to the supply of customer support services were also
separated.
The intent of the Department’s certification is to include
all workers of the subject firm who were adversely affected by an
acquisition of services from a foreign country.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers at five additional FCR sites in
Oregon: Roseburg, Grants Pass, Coos Bay, Veneta, and Eugene.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-92,471 is hereby issued
as follows:


“All workers of FCR, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Independence, Oregon (TA-W-92,471); FCR, Roseburg,
Oregon (TA-W-92,471A), FCR, Grants Pass, Oregon (TA-W-
92,471B); FCR, Coos Bay, Oregon (TA-W-92,471C; FCR, Veneta,
Oregon (TA-W-92,471D), and FCR, Eugene, Oregon (TA-W-
92,471E), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after on or after December 7, 2015, through
March 1, 2019, 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.”

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 December 8, 2016 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers at FCR, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Independence, Oregon (subject firm). The workers' firm
is engaged in activities related to the supply of customer
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
the subject firm.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of FCR, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of customer 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 FCR, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Independence, Oregon, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 7,
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 March 2017.
