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 October 17, 2017 by an one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of workers of BP Products North America Inc., GBS
Americas Division, Naperville, Illinois ("BP"). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
accounting, financial reporting, procurement and payment,
invoicing, receivable and inventory management, cash
collections, customer and consumer support, and retail
operations support services. The worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Collabera, Acro, Insight, Nextsource,
Procom, Kelly Services, Experis, and Robert Half.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at BP.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of BP Products North
America Inc., GBS Americas Division, including on-site leased
workers from Collabera, Acro, Insight, Nextsource, Procom,
Kelly Services, Experis, and Robert Half, Naperville, Illinois
who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
accounting, financial reporting, procurement and payment,
invoicing, receivable and inventory management, cash
collections, customer and consumer support, and retail
operations support 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 BP Products North America Inc., GBS
Americas Division, including on-site leased workers from
Collabera, Acro, Insight, Nextsource, Procom, Kelly
Services, Experis, and Robert Half, Naperville, Illinois,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after October 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 20th day of November 2017.
