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 March 8, 2018 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of DaVita Clinical Research, Early Clinical division, a
subsidiary of DaVita, Lakewood, Colorado (TA-W-93,621) and
DaVita Clinical Research, Early Clinical division, a
subsidiary of DaVita, Minneapolis, Minnesota (TA-W-93,621A)
(DaVita Clinical Research). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of drug and device development
services to companies developing a drug or device for approval
by the FDA. This division focuses on early phase research and
is specialized to work on studies where there is a need for
subject confinement. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Green Key Solutions and Aerotek and remote
workers reporting to the subject locations.
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 supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at DaVita
Clinical Research.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DaVita Clinical
Research, Early Clinical division, a subsidiary of DaVita,
including on-site leased workers from Green Key Solutions and
Aerotek, Lakewood, Colorado, (TA-W-93,621) and DaVita Clinical
Research, Early Clinical division, a subsidiary of DaVita,
including on-site leased workers from Green Key Solutions and
Aerotek, Minneapolis, Minnesota (TA-W-93,621A), who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of early phase research
services and studies where there is a need for subject
confinement 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 DaVita Clinical Research, Early Clinical
division, a subsidiary of DaVita, including on-site
leased workers from Green Key Solutions and Aerotek,
Lakewood, Colorado, (TA-W-93,621) and DaVita Clinical
Research, Early Clinical division, a subsidiary of DaVita,
including on-site leased workers from Green Key Solutions
and Aerotek, Minneapolis, Minnesota (TA-W-93,621A) who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 6, 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 April 2018.
