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 August 3, 2017, by a State Workforce Office on behalf
workers of Microsoft Corporation, Windows and Devices Group
(WDG), Surface Hub Division, Wilsonville, Oregon (Microsoft-
Surface Hub). Workers of Microsoft-Surface Hub are engaged in
activities related to the production of surface hub products.
Microsoft Corporation workers who are part of WDG but are not
part of the Surface Hub Division are excluded from the subject
worker group (Microsoft-Surface Hub). The subject worker group
(Microsoft-Surface Hub) does not include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, the workers' firm, and other
sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Microsoft-Surface Hub
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 a(n)
article like or directly competitive with the surface hub
products produced by the workers which contributed importantly
to worker group separations at Microsoft-Surface Hub.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Microsoft
Corporation, Windows and Devices Group (WDG), Surface Hub
Division, Wilsonville, Oregon, who are engaged in activities
related to the production of surface hub products, 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:
"Workers of Microsoft Corporation, Windows and Devices
Group (WDG), Surface Hub Division, Wilsonville, Oregon,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after August 2, 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 12th day of April 2018.
