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 November 6, 2018, by a State Workforce Office on behalf
of workers and former workers of H Granados Communications,
Inc., Dispatch Unit, Laguna Hills, California (H Granados
Communications-Dispatch Unit). Workers within H Granados
Communications-Dispatch Unit are engaged in activities related
to the supply of dispatch technician services. The petition
states "Dispatch positions were outsourced to India."
The subject worker group includes on-site leased workers
from ADP LLC (ADP Total Source).
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in H Granados
Communications-Dispatch Unit 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 the dispatch services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at H Granados Communications-Dispatch Unit.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of H Granados
Communications-Dispatch Unit, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of dispatch technician 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:
"Workers of H Granados Communications, Inc., Dispatch
Unit, including on-site leased workers from ADP LLC (ADP
Total Source), Laguna Hills, California, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after November
5, 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 25th day of January 2019.
