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 19, 2018 by a one-stop operator/partner on
behalf of the workers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Pointnext division, including workers whose
wages were reported under HP Inc., Palo Alto, California
(Hewlett Packard Enterprise). The worker group also includes
remote workers reporting from Colorado and Massachusetts.
The worker group is engaged in activities related to the
supply of technology services and support.
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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations in
Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Pointnext division,
including workers whose wages were reported under HP Inc., Palo
Alto, California, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of technology services and support, 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Pointnext Division, including workers whose
wages were reported under HP Inc., Palo Alto, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after September 18, 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 1st day of November 2018.
