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 June 29, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers of
Randstad, working on-site at Seagate Technology, LLC, a
subsidiary of Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc., Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma (herein referred to as "Randstad"). The worker
group is engaged in activities related to the supply of call
center services. Workers are considered separately identifiable
by services supplied.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.
Workers of a separate group at this location, Seagate
Technology, LLC, including on-site leased workers from
Teksystems, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma were previously certified
under TA-W-93,433 due to a shift in services. This certification
expires on February 28, 2020. Workers of Randstad are considered
separately identifiable from this group.
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 supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Randstad.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Randstad, working on-
site at Seagate Technology, LLC, a subsidiary of Seagate
Technology (US) Holdings, Inc., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of call center
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 Randstad, working on-site at Seagate
Technology, LLC, a subsidiary of Seagate Technology (US)
Holdings, Inc., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after June 26,
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 13th day of August 2018.
