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 April 24, 2018 on behalf of workers of Computershare
Inc., Canton Finance Group, a subsidiary of Computershare
Limited, Canton, Massachusetts. The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of accounting services to the
larger organization through general accounting and reporting,
billing, accounts payable and accounts receivable, as well as
financial reporting. The subject worker group includes on-site
leased workers from Adecco Staffing.
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
Computershare Inc., Canton Finance Group, a subsidiary of
Computershare Limited, Canton, Massachusetts.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Computershare Inc.,
Canton Finance Group, a subsidiary of Computershare Limited,
including on-site leased workers from Adecco Staffing, Canton,
Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities related to the supply
of accounting services to the larger organization through
general accounting and reporting, billing, accounts payable and
accounts receivable, as well as financial reporting 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 Computershare Inc., Canton Finance Group, a
subsidiary of Computershare Limited, including on-site
leased workers from Adecco Staffing, Canton, Massachusetts,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on
or after April 23, 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 29th day of May 2018.
