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 January 8, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Rovia, LLC, a subsidiary of WorldVentures
Holdings, including on-site leased workers from Avail and
Cornerstone, Plano, Texas. The workers, subject to the
investigation, are engaged in activities related to the supply
of travel services to WorldVentures Holdings members,
specifically customer support and air ticketing services.
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 acquires services from a foreign country services like
or directly competitive with services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Rovia, LLC, Plano, Texas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Rovia, LLC, a
subsidiary of WorldVentures Holdings, including on-site leased
workers from Avail and Cornerstone, Plano, Texas, who are
engaged in activities related to the supply of travel services
to WorldVentures Holdings members, specifically customer support
and air ticketing 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 Rovia, LLC, a subsidiary of WorldVentures
Holdings, including on-site leased workers from Avail and
Cornerstone, Plano, Texas engaged in activities related to
customer support and air ticketing services, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 5, 2017, 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.
