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 April 9, 2019 on behalf of workers and former workers
of Zinus, Customer Service Division, including on-site leased
workers from Prologistix and Randstand, Tracy, California
(Zinus-Customer Service). Workers of Zinus-Customer Service are
engaged in activities related to the supply of customer service.
During the course of the investigation, the Department
collected information from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in Zinus-Customer Service
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 a(n)
service like or directly competitive with the customer service
supplied by the subject workers which contributed importantly to
worker group separations at Zinus-Customer Service.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Zinus-Customer
Service, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
customer service, 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 Zinus, Customer Service Division, including
on-site leased workers from Prologistix and Randstand,
Tracy, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after April 8, 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 27th day of May 2020.
