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 May 24, 2017 by state workforce official on behalf of
workers of Dr. Leonard's Healthcare Corporation, Order Services
Division, a Subsidiary of AmeriMark Holdings, Lincoln, Nebraska
(Dr. Leonard's-Order Services). The workers' firm is engaged in
the production of healthcare products and the supply of
healthcare services. Dr. Leonard's-Order Services is engaged in
activities related to the supply of call center services, such
as sales, customer service, and related support services. The
subject worker group (Dr. Leonard's-Order Services) 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 Dr. Leonard's-Order
Services 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 a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the call center services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Dr. Leonard's-Order Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Dr. Leonard's-Order
Services, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
call center 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 Dr. Leonard's Healthcare Corporation, Order
Services Division, a Subsidiary of AmeriMark Holdings,
Lincoln, Nebraska, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after May 23, 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 15th day of August 2017.
