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 19, 2019 on behalf of workers and former workers of
CDI Corporation, CDI WV Shared Service Center, Cross Lanes, West
Virginia (CDI WV Shared Service Center). Workers of CDI WV
Shared Service Center are engaged in activities related to the
supply of back office support services, payroll, billing and
related services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioners, the workers' firm, a third party
vendor, and other related sources.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in CDI WV Shared Service Center 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 the supply of services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the subject workers
which contributed importantly to worker group separations CDI WV
Shared Service Center.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of CDI WV Shared Service
Center, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
back office support services, payroll, billing and related
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 CDI Corporation, CDI WV Shared Service
Center, Cross Lanes, West Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after March 18,
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."
