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 January 16, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of Aptos, Inc., Help Desk, Hardware Install Services
and Facilities Newburgh Divisions, including on-site leased
workers from Workforce Logiq (formerly ZeroChaos), Newburgh,
New York (herein referred to as "Aptos"). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of professional
services, support, RCD, sales and G&A. The workers are
separately identifiable by 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of a(n) service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Aptos.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Aptos, Inc., Help
Desk, Hardware Install Services and Facilities Newburgh
Divisions, including on-site leased workers from Workforce
Logiq (formerly ZeroChaos), Newburgh, New York who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of professional services,
support, RCD, sales and G&A 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 Aptos, Inc., Help Desk, Hardware Install
Services and Facilities Newburgh Divisions, including on-
site leased workers from Workforce Logiq (formerly
ZeroChaos), Newburgh, New York who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 15,
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."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 28th day of January 2019.
