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 July 3, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Autodesk, Inc., Lake Oswego, Oregon ("Autodesk,
Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to
the production of software and software tools for management,
marketing, user experience design, software development, QA
activities, the Autodesk desktop app, and for experimental
projects for the fields of Machine Learning and Virtual
Reality. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Accelon, Adroit Resources, Ascent Services Group,
Capstone Technology Resource, Insight Global, Net Matrix
Solutions, Inc., Randstad, and Rose International.
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 shifted to a foreign country the production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Autodesk, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Autodesk, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Accelon, Adroit
Resources, Ascent Services Group, Capstone Technology
Resource, Insight Global, Net Matrix Solutions, Inc.,
Randstad, and Rose International, Lake Oswego, Oregon, who are
engaged in activities related to the production of software and
software tools for management, marketing, user experience
design, software development, QA activities, the Autodesk
desktop app, and for experimental projects for the fields of
Machine Learning and Virtual Reality 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 Autodesk, Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Accelon, Adroit Resources, Ascent Services
Group, Capstone Technology Resource, Insight Global, Net
Matrix Solutions, Inc., Randstad, and Rose International,
Lake Oswego, Oregon, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after June 30, 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 17th day of November 2017.
