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 26, 2017 on behalf of workers of Unum Group,
Finance Department, including on-site leased workers from EXL
Services Holdings, Inc., Anaplan, Inc., KPMG, and
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Chattanooga, Tennessee (“Unum”).
The workers’ firm is engaged in activities related to the
supply of financial analysis and investing services.
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 Unum Group 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 financial analysis and investing
services supplied by the subject workers which contributed
importantly to worker group separations at Unum Group.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Unum Group, Finance
Department, including on-site leased workers from EXL Services
Holdings, Inc., Anaplan, Inc., KPMG, and
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Chattanooga, Tennessee, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of financial analysis and
investing 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 Unum Group, Finance Department, including
on-site leased workers from EXL Services Holdings, Inc.,
Anaplan, Inc., KPMG, and PriceWaterhouseCoopers,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 25, 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 26th day of September 2017.
