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 March 14, 2019, by an authorized represetative on
behalf of workers of Lumina Datamatic, Inc., a subsidiary of
Datamatics Global Services LTD, Plymouth, Massachusetts. The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply
of content development, design & meta data services.
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
workers which contributed importantly to the worker group
separations at Lumina Datamatic, Inc., a subsidiary of
Datamatics Global Services LTD, Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Lumina Datamatic,
Inc., a subsidiary of Datamatics Global Services LTD, Plymouth,
Massachusetts, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of content development, design & meta data 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 Lumina Datamatic, Inc., a subsidiary of
Datamatics Global Services LTD, Plymouth, Massachusetts,
who became totally or partially separated from employment
on or after March 13, 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 21st day of July 2019.
