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 28, 2019, by three workers on behalf of workers of
Union Underwear Co., Inc. dba Fruit of the Loom, Information
Technology division, Corporate Headquarters campus, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, including on-site
leased workers from Netrix LLC; Red Van Workshop LLC; Kaygen
Inc; Microsoft; SecureWorks, Inc.; MicroStrategy; and
Teradata, Bowling Green, Kentucky ("Fruit of the Loom IT").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of underwear, apparel, and sporting goods products.
The subject worker group includes those engaged in activities
related to the supply of IT services and support for systems,
applications, and infrastructure. The Corporate Headquarters
campus in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is considered to be inclusive
of offices at 1 Fruit of the Loom Drive and 675 Hennessey Way.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner(s) and the workers' firm.
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 Fruit of the Loom IT.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Union Underwear Co.,
Inc. dba Fruit of the Loom, Information Technology division,
Corporate Headquarters campus, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Berkshire Hathaway, including on-site leased workers from
Netrix LLC; Red Van Workshop LLC; Kaygen Inc; Microsoft;
SecureWorks, Inc.; MicroStrategy; and Teradata, Bowling Green,
Kentucky, who are engaged in activities related to the supply of
IT services and support for systems, applications, and
infrastructure 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 Union Underwear Co., Inc. dba Fruit of the
Loom, Information Technology division, Corporate
Headquarters campus, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Berkshire Hathaway, including on-site leased workers from
Netrix LLC; Red Van Workshop LLC; Kaygen Inc; Microsoft;
SecureWorks, Inc.; MicroStrategy; and Teradata, Bowling
Green, Kentucky, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after June 27, 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 30th day of July 2019.
