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 25, 2017 on behalf of workers of Bloomberg L.P., Global Data
Division, a subsidiary of Bloomberg Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Forrest Solutions Group, Vantage Point Consulting,
and Accounting Principals, Skillman, New Jersey (Bloomberg-Global
Data). Workers of Bloomberg-Global Data are engaged in activities
related to the supply of data analysis services for clients
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 at Bloomberg-Global Data 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 the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the data analysis services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Bloomberg-Global Data.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bloomberg-Global Data,
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of data analysis
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 Bloomberg L.P., Global Data Division, a
subsidiary of Bloomberg Inc., including on-site leased workers
from Forrest Solutions Group, Vantage Point Consulting, and
Accounting Principals, Skillman, New Jersey, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after May
24, 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 7th day of July 2017.
