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 24, 2019, by a state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Xerox Corporation, Information Management,
including on-site leased workers from Tata Consultancy Services,
Webster, New York. The workers' firm is engaged in the
production of printers and multifunction products, copiers,
and digital printing presses, as well as the supply of the
associated software solutions and services. The subject
location in Webster, New York, comprises of office positions
which support Xerox's internal operations.
The subject worker group for which the petition was filed
concerns the firm's internal PDW2 Data Warehouse. However, the
investigation revealed that the appropriate label for this group
is Information Management. Workers in Information Management
supply internal support to Xerox employees with management of
technical systems and software.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and 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
Information Management group which contributed importantly to
the worker group separations at Xerox Corporation, Webster,
New York.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Xerox Corporation,
Information Management, including on-site leased workers from
Tata Consultancy Services, Webster, New York, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of internal support for
management of technical systems and software, 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 Xerox Corporation, Information Management,
including on-site leased workers from Tata Consultancy
Services, Webster, New York, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after January 23,
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 March 2019.
