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 April 19, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Thomson Reuters, Technology Service Operations &
Engineering Unit, Financial & Risk division, including on-site
leased workers from Randstad Professionals US, LLC d/b/a
Randstad Sourceright, New York, New York (Thomson Reuters).
The workers the subject of the investigation is engaged in
activities related to the supply of technical support services.
Workers are separately identifiable by business unit and/or
core function and job title.
The worker group is not to be confused with the worker
group covered under petition number TA-W-93,538, determined on
April 20, 2018 certifying workers of Thomson Reuters,
Financial & Risk, Reuters, & Thomson Reuters Corporate
Divisions, including on-site leased workers from Randstad
Sourceright, New York, New York engaged in activities related
to the supply of quality assurance, financial software and
data analysis services as Trade Adjustment Assistance
eligible.
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 service like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Thomson
Reuters.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Thomson Reuters,
Technology Service Operations & Engineering Unit, Financial &
Risk division, including on-site leased workers from Randstad
Professionals US, LLC d/b/a Randstad Sourceright, New York,
New York, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
technical support 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 Thomson Reuters, Technology Service
Operations & Engineering Unit, Financial & Risk division,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad
Professionals US, LLC d/b/a Randstad Sourceright, New
York, New York, engaged in activities related to the supply
of technical support services who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 18,
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."
