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 December 5, 2017 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, EG AMS Supply Chain
Manufacturing division, including on-site leased workers from
Staff Management, Manpower, Bucher and Christian Consulting Inc.,
and National Employment Services, Houston, Texas are the subject
of this investigation ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise")
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of servers and storages. Workers are not separately
identifiable by the articles produced.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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 shifted to a foreign country the production of articles like
or directly competitive with the articles produced by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, EG AMS Supply Chain Manufacturing division, including
on-site leased workers from Staff Management, Manpower, Bucher and
Christian Consulting Inc., and National Employment Services,
Houston, Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of servers and storages, 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, EG AMS Supply
Chain Manufacturing division, including on-site leased
workers from Staff Management, Manpower, Bucher and
Christian Consulting Inc., and National Employment
Services, Houston, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after December 4, 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 7th day of February 2018.
