INCLUDING WORKERS WHOSE WAGES WERE REPORTED UNDER
APC WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS LLC
DALLAS, TEXAS
Amended 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
issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on September 19, 2019, applicable to
workers of Workforce Logiq, Dallas, Texas. The Department’s
notice of determination has yet to be published in the Federal
Register.
At the request of the State Workforce Office, the
Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject
firm. The workers were engaged in activities related to
conducting background check services.
The company reports that workers reporting wages under APC
Workforce Solutions LLC were employed on-site at the Dallas,
Texas location of Workforce Logiq.
Based on these findings, the Department is amending this
certification to include workers whose wages were reported under
APC Workforce Solutions LLC, working on-site at the Dallas,
Texas location of Workforce Logiq.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-95,056 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Workforce Logiq, including workers
whose wages were reported under APC Workforce
Solutions LLC, Dallas, Texas, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after August
7, 2018, through September 19, 2021, and all workers
in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on September 19, 2019
through September 19, 2021, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”

WORKFORCE LOGIQ
DALLAS, TEXAS
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 August 8, 2019 on behalf of workers of Workforce
Logiq, Dallas, Texas (Workforce Logiq-Dallas). The workers'
firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
background check services.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from 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(n) service
like or directly competitive with the service supplied by the
workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Workforce Logiq-Dallas.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Workforce Logiq,
Dallas Texas, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of background check 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 Workforce Logiq, Dallas, Texas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
August 7, 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 19th day of September 2019.
