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 September 14, 2017, by a company official on behalf of
workers of Harman, Professional Solutions Division, a
subsidiary of Harman International Industries, Inc., including
on-site leased workers from Accountemps, a Robert Half Company
and Barrett Business Services, Inc., South Jordan, Utah (TA-W-
93,138) and Harman, Professional Solutions Division, a
subsidiary of Harman International Industries, Inc.,
Northridge, California (TA-W-93,138A) ["Harman"]. The
workers' firm is engaged in the activities related to the
production of speakers, headphones, sound boards, and switches.
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 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 Harman.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Harman, Professional
Solutions Division, a subsidiary of Harman International
Industries, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Accountemps, a Robert Half Company and Barrett Business
Services, Inc., South Jordan, Utah (TA-W-93,138) and Harman,
Professional Solutions Division, a subsidiary of Harman
International Industries, Inc., Northridge, California (TA-W-
93,138A), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of speakers, headphones, sound boards, and switches,
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 Harman, Professional Solutions Division, a
subsidiary of Harman International Industries, Inc.,
including on-site leased workers from Accountemps, a
Robert Half Company and Barrett Business Services, Inc.,
South Jordan, Utah (TA-W-93,138) and Harman, Professional
Solutions Division, a subsidiary of Harman International
Industries, Inc., Northridge, California (TA-W-93,138A),
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 13, 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 30th day of September 2017.
