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 July 24, 2019 by an authorized representative on behalf
of workers of Medtronic Plc, Restorative Therapies Group,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Artech
Information Systems LLC, ATR, Beacon Engineering Resources Inc
and Affiliates, Bentley Global Resources LLC, Entegee Inc dba
ITG-Insource Technical Group, Grove Technical Resources, Howroyd
Wright Employment Agency, Inc. dba AppleOne Employment Services,
Infotree Service, Inc., Populus Group, Randstad North America,
Inc., and Redbock, Inc., Goleta, California (herein referred to
as "Medtronic Plc").
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of medical devices that alleviate trauma or
conditions involving the brain. Specifically, the firm
manufactures various products such as brain shunt or silicone
catheter devices to alleviate pressure in the brain.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner/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 production of an
article like or directly competitive with the article produced
by the workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Medtronic Plc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Medtronic Plc,
Restorative Therapies Group, including on-site leased workers
from Aerotek, Artech Information Systems LLC, ATR, Beacon
Engineering Resources Inc and Affiliates, Bentley Global
Resources LLC, Entegee Inc dba ITG-Insource Technical Group,
Grove Technical Resources, Howroyd Wright Employment Agency,
Inc. dba AppleOne Employment Services, Infotree Service, Inc.,
Populus Group, Randstad North America, Inc., and Redbock, Inc.,
Goleta, California, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of medical devices that alleviate trauma or
conditions involving the brain 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 Medtronic Plc, Restorative Therapies Group,
including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Artech
Information Systems LLC, ATR, Beacon Engineering Resources
Inc and Affiliates, Bentley Global Resources LLC, Entegee
Inc dba ITG-Insource Technical Group, Grove Technical
Resources, Howroyd Wright Employment Agency, Inc. dba
AppleOne Employment Services, Infotree Service, Inc.,
Populus Group, Randstad North America, Inc., and Redbock,
Inc., Goleta, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after July 23, 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 12th day of November 2019.
