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 February 3, 2017 by a state workforce official on behalf of the
workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, ES-Finance Operations
(ESFO), including workers whose unemployment insurance (UI) wages
are reported under Hewlett Packard, Cerritos, California (Hewlett
Packard-ESFO). Workers of Hewlett Packard-ESFO are engaged in
activities related to the supply of project management services.
The subject worker group (Hewlett Packard-ESFO) does not include on-
site leased workers.
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 Hewlett Packard-ESFO 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 project management services supplied
by the subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Hewlett Packard-ESFO.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard-ESFO, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of project
management 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, ES-Finance
Operations (ESFO), including workers whose unemployment
insurance (UI) wages are reported under Hewlett Packard,
Cerritos, California, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after February 2, 2016 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 18th day of April 2017.
