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 24, 2017 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Continental Traffic Service, Inc. dba CTSI-
Global, including on-site leased workers from Pridestaff,
Memphis, Tennessee ("Continental Traffic Service, Inc.").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of freight bill audit services. The subject firm includes
remote workers reporting from Texas, North Carolina, Illinois,
West Virginia, Michigan, Missouri, and Mississippi.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Continental Traffic
Service, Inc. 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 freight bill audit services
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Continental Traffic Service, Inc.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Continental Traffic
Service, Inc. dba CTSI-Global, including on-site leased
workers from Pridestaff, Memphis, Tennessee, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of freight bill audit 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 Continental Traffic Service, Inc. dba
CTSI-Global, including on-site leased workers from
Pridestaff, Memphis, Tennessee, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after July 21,
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 1th day of September 2017.
