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 8, 2017 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Alexion
Rhode Island Manufacturing Facility (ARIMF), including on-site
leased workers from ADPI LLC, Aerotek Scientific LLC, Aquinas
Consulting LLC, Barry-Wehmiller Design Group Inc.,
Commissioning Agents Inc., DPS Group Inc., Encova Consulting
Inc., eTeam Inc., Feabhas Inc., Grount Four Group LLC, Monroe
Staffing Services LLC, Planet Pharma LLC, Process Automated
Solutions, Randstad North America Inc., Sigma Systems Inc.,
and Taurus Project Controls Consulting Inc., Smithfield, Rhode
Island (ARIMF). The workers' firm is engaged in activities
related to the production of pharmaceutical drugs.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and public sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in ARIMF 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 articles the
production of articles like or directly competitive with the
pharmaceutical drugs produced by the subject workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at ARIMF.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Alexion
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Alexion Rhode Island Manufacturing
Facility (ARIMF), Smithfield, Rhode Island, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of pharmaceutical drugs,
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 Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Alexion
Rhode Island Manufacturing Facility (ARIMF), including
on-site leased workers from ADPI LLC, Aerotek Scientific
LLC, Aquinas Consulting LLC, Barry-Wehmiller Design Group
Inc., Commissioning Agents Inc., DPS Group Inc., Encova
Consulting Inc., eTeam Inc., Feabhas Inc., Grount Four
Group LLC, Monroe Staffing Services LLC, Planet Pharma
LLC, Process Automated Solutions, Randstad North America
Inc., Sigma Systems Inc., and Taurus Project Controls
Consulting Inc., Smithfield, Rhode Island, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
December 7, 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 25th day of January 2018.
