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 July 3, 2018 by the state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Transportation, Inc., Consolidated Call Center
Division, a subsidiary of Transportation General, Inc.,
including workers whose wages were reported through Arlington
Yellow Cab Co., Inc, Fairfax Taxi, Inc., Five Star
Transportation Services, Inc., and Murphy Brothers, Inc.,
Arlington, Virginia (Transport). The workers' firm is engaged
in activities related to the supply of call center services.
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
Transport.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Transportation, Inc.,
Consolidated Call Center Division, a subsidiary of
Transportation General, Inc., including workers whose wages
were reported through Arlington Yellow Cab Co., Inc, Fairfax
Taxi, Inc., Five Star Transportation Services, Inc., and
Murphy Brothers, Inc., Arlington, Virginia, 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 Transportation, Inc., Consolidated Call
Center Division, a subsidiary of Transportation General,
Inc., including workers whose wages were reported through
Arlington Yellow Cab Co., Inc, Fairfax Taxi, Inc., Five
Star Transportation Services, Inc., and Murphy Brothers,
Inc., Arlington, Virginia, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 2, 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 11th day of July 2018.
