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 29, 2018 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Clockwork Acquisition II, Inc., also known
as Direct Energy, a subsidiary of RSG Holding Corporation,
including on-site leased workers from American Cyber Systems,
Arrise Consulting, Capital Staffing, Compunnel Software,
Crossfire, ICONMA, IT People, Keen Technology Consulting Inc.,
Modis, Net Matrix Solutions, nTech Solutions, Primary
Services, Radiant Systems, Sirius Solutions, Special Counsel,
Specialist Staffing dba Progressive Global Energy, Tailored
Management, TalentBurst and Tundra, Tempe, Arizona (herein
referred to as "Clockwork Acquisition II, Inc."). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of contact
center services. Workers from the subject firm are separately
identifiable by the services supplied.
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
Clockwork Acquisition II, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Clockwork Acquisition
II, Inc., also known as Direct Energy, a subsidiary of RSG
Holding Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
American Cyber Systems, Arrise Consulting, Capital Staffing,
Compunnel Software, Crossfire, ICONMA, IT People, Keen
Technology Consulting Inc., Modis, Net Matrix Solutions, nTech
Solutions, Primary Services, Radiant Systems, Sirius
Solutions, Special Counsel, Specialist Staffing dba
Progressive Global Energy, Tailored Management, TalentBurst
and Tundra, Tempe, Arizona, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of contact 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 Clockwork Acquisition II, Inc., also known
as Direct Energy, a subsidiary of RSG Holding
Corporation, including on-site leased workers from
American Cyber Systems, Arrise Consulting, Capital
Staffing, Compunnel Software, Crossfire, ICONMA, IT
People, Keen Technology Consulting Inc., Modis, Net
Matrix Solutions, nTech Solutions, Primary Services,
Radiant Systems, Sirius Solutions, Special Counsel,
Specialist Staffing dba Progressive Global Energy,
Tailored Management, TalentBurst and Tundra, Tempe,
Arizona, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after August 28, 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 5th day of October 2018.
