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 September 18, 2018 by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Bose Corporation, Global Sales Division,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad, iGate
Technologies, Inc., Capgemini, and Securitas Security Services
USA, Inc., Westborough, Massachusetts ("Bose Global Sales
Division"). The workers' firm is engaged in activities related
to the production of sound technology, speakers, and headphones.
The subject worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of product and technical support call center services.
The worker group was certified eligible to apply for Trade
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) under petition number TA-W-91,374.
The group did not encompass workers from iGate Technologies,
Inc., Capgemini, or Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. The
certification expired on April 7, 2018.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and the workers' firm.
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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Bose Global Sales Division.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Bose Corporation,
Global Sales Division, including on-site leased workers from
Randstad, iGate Technologies, Inc., Capgemini, and Securitas
Security Services USA, Inc., Westborough, Massachusetts, who
are engaged in activities related to the supply of product and
technical support 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 Bose Corporation, Global Sales Division,
including on-site leased workers from Randstad,
Westborough, Massachusetts (TA-W-94,138), engaged in
activities related to the supply of product and technical
support call center services, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after April 8,
2018 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;
AND,
All workers of iGate Technologies, Inc., Capgemini, and
Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. working on-site at
Bose Corporation, Global Sales Division, Westborough,
Massachusetts (TA-W-94,138A), engaged in activities related
to the supply of product and technical support call center
services, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after September 13, 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 6th day of December 2018.
