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 October 15, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers
of CCS Medical, Inc., Wound Care Division, including on-site
leased workers from Kelly Services, Inc., HealthCare Support,
Integrity Staffing Solutions, Konexus Group, and Robert Half,
Farmers Branch, Texas (herein known as "CCS Medical"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
mail-order retail services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm, the petitioners, and the firm
to which the worker group's jobs were outsourced.
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 CCS
Medical.


Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CCS Medical, Inc.,
Wound Care Division, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Services, Inc., HealthCare Support, Integrity Staffing
Solutions, Konexus Group, and Robert Half, Farmers Branch,
Texas who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
mail-order retail 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 CCS Medical, Inc., Wound Care Division,
including on-site leased workers from Kelly Services,
Inc., HealthCare Support, Integrity Staffing Solutions,
Konexus Group, and Robert Half, Farmers Branch, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 12, 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 26th day of October 2018.
