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 25, 2019 by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Providence Health & Services-Washington, Supply
Chain Management, Portland, Oregon (TA-W-94,935) and
Providence Health & Services-Washington, Supply Chain
Management, Medford, Oregon (TA-W-94,935A) ("Providence Health
& Services-Washington"). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of procurement, purchasing,
material management, supply chain, and accounts payable
services. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Accountemps (Robert Half).
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 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 worker group
separations at Providence Health & Services-Washington.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Providence Health &
Services-Washington, Supply Chain Management, including on-
site leased workers from Accountemps (Robert Half), Portland,
Oregon (TA-W-94,935) and Providence Health & Services-
Washington, Supply Chain Management, including on-site leased
workers from Accountemps (Robert Half), Medford, Oregon (TA-W-
94,935A), who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
procurement, purchasing, material management, supply chain,
and accounts payable 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 Providence Health & Services-Washington,
Supply Chain Management, including on-site leased workers
from Accountemps (Robert Half), Portland, Oregon (TA-W-
94,935) and Providence Health & Services-Washington,
Supply Chain Management, including on-site leased workers
from Accountemps (Robert Half), Medford, Oregon (TA-W-
94,935A), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after June 24, 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 28th day of July 2019.
