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 29, 2017 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Towers Watson Delaware, Inc., a subsidiary of
Willis Towers Watson PLC, including on-site leased workers from
Aerotek, Fidato Partners LLC, Randstad Professionals, Ernst &
Young, Infinity Consulting Solutions, Genpact, Quad 656,
Starpoint Solutions LLC, Beacon Hill Staffing, Solomon Edwards
Group LLC, The Dubin Group, KPMG, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Artech
Information Systems LLC, and Sunrise Systems, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania ("Towers Watson Delaware, Inc."). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of pension
and employee benefit consulting services, employee
compensation consulting services, employee assessment
consulting services, actuarial consulting services, risk and
investment consulting services, change management and employee
communication consulting services, and benefits administration
services. However, the worker group is specifically engaged in
supplying internal corporate services within the Finance
department.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Towers
Watson Delaware, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Towers Watson
Delaware, Inc., a subsidiary of Willis Towers Watson PLC,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Fidato Partners
LLC, Randstad Professionals, Ernst & Young, Infinity Consulting
Solutions, Genpact, Quad 656, Starpoint Solutions LLC, Beacon
Hill Staffing, Solomon Edwards Group LLC, The Dubin Group, KPMG,
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Artech Information Systems LLC, and
Sunrise Systems, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of internal corporate services
within the Finance department 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 Towers Watson Delaware, Inc., a subsidiary of
Willis Towers Watson PLC, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Fidato Partners LLC, Randstad Professionals,
Ernst & Young, Infinity Consulting Solutions, Genpact, Quad
656, Starpoint Solutions LLC, Beacon Hill Staffing, Solomon
Edwards Group LLC, The Dubin Group, KPMG,
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Artech Information Systems LLC, and
Sunrise Systems, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania engaged in
activities related to the suppled of internal corporate
services within the Finance department who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after December
28, 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 15th day of February 2018.
