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; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on March 18, 2019, by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers of The TJX Companies, Inc., Corporate Technology
Center, Bridge Room, New Albany, Ohio. The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of data storage,
engineering support, and systems monitoring services for The
TJX Companies, Inc.
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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at The TJX
Companies, Inc., Corporate Technology Center, Bridge Room, New
Albany, Ohio.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of The TJX Companies,
Inc., Corporate Technology Center, Bridge Room, New Albany,
Ohio, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
data storage, engineering support, and systems monitoring
services for The TJX Companies, Inc., 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 The TJX Companies, Inc., Corporate
Technology Center, Bridge Room, New Albany, Ohio, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after March 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 23rd day of July 2019.
