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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on November 7, 2017 by an authorized representative on
behalf of workers of Milestone Technologies, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from, Manpower, Experis, Adecco, Robert
Half, and Randstad Technologies, Fremont, California ("Milestone
Technologies, Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the supply of IT managed services of network
operations, data center, asset lifecycle management, service
desk and contact center services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, a dislocated worker, the
workers' firm, and the major declining customer(s) of 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)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of the IT managed services supplied by
Milestone Technologies, Inc. have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of services like or directly competitive with the
services supplied by Milestone Technologies, Inc. have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
customer imports contributed importantly to the worker group
separations and sales/production declines at Milestone
Technologies, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Milestone
Technologies, Inc., including on-site leased workers from
Manpower, Experis, Adecco, Robert Half, and Randstad
Technologies, Fremont, California, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of IT managed 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 Milestone Technologies, Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Manpower, Experis, Adecco, Robert
Half, and Randstad Technologies, Fremont, California, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after November 6, 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 19th day of January 2018.
