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 February 14, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of CellNetix, including workers whose wages
were reported under Puget Sound Institute of Pathology (PSIP),
including on-site leased workers from CompHealth, Delivery
Express and Lab Logistics, Seattle, Washington, (CellNetix).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of pathology services. The subject worker is engaged in
activities related to the supply of processed specimens on
slides and the reading of those slides to present a diagnosis.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with the services by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
CellNetix.

Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CellNetix, including
workers whose wages were reported under Puget Sound Institute of
Pathology (PSIP), including on-site leased workers from
CompHealth, Delivery Express and Lab Logistics, Seattle,
Washington, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of pathology 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 CellNetix, including workers whose wages
were reported under Puget Sound Institute of Pathology
(PSIP), including on-site leased workers from CompHealth,
Delivery Express and Lab Logistics, Seattle, Washington,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after February 12, 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 9th day of April 2018.
