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 June 12, 2019, by a One-Stop Operator on behalf of workers and
former workers of U.S. Bank National Association, Consumer &
Business Banking Operations Unit, Lien Release Division and
Quality Management Customer Advocacy-Compliant Division, a wholly
owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, Irvine, California (U.S. Bank-
Lien Release/Quality Management). Because the worker groups are
separately identifiable by service supplied, workers who are not
part of the Lien Release Division or the Quality Management
Customer Advocacy-Compliant Division are excluded. Workers of U.S.
Bank-Lien Release/Quality Management are engaged in activities
related to the supply of lien release and quality management
customer advocacy-complaint services. The worker group does not
include on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers in U.S. Bank-Lien Release/Quality
Management 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 the services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at U.S. Bank-Lien Release/Quality Management.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of U.S. Bank-Lien
Release/Quality Management, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of lien release and quality management customer
advocacy-complaint 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 U.S. Bank National Association, Consumer &
Business Banking Operations Unit, Lien Release Division and
Quality Management Customer Advocacy-Complaints Division, a
wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, Irvine, California,
who became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after June 11, 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 September 2019.
