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 August 23, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC),
including remote workers from Virginia reporting to, Chicago,
Illinois (herein referred to as "HCSC"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of customer service
and sales services. Workers from the subject firm are not
separately identifiable by service supplied.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioner, and the firm's
third party vendor.
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 HCSC.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Health Care Service
Corporation (HCSC), including remote workers from Virginia
reporting to, Chicago, Illinois, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of customer service and sales 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 Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC),
including remote workers from Virginia reporting to,
Chicago, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after August 22, 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."
