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 September 4, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Tokio Marine Management, LLC, Data
Automation Department, Pasadena, California (herein referred
to as "Tokio Marine Management-Pasadena"). The workers are
engaged in activities related to the supply of data automation
services. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Ultimate Staffing, People 2.0 North America, Apple
One, SGD, Inc., Randstad, Eclaro, and The Best IRS. Workers are
not separately identifiable by function.
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 a portion of 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 Tokio Marine Management-Pasadena.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Tokio Marine
Management-Pasadena, who are engaged in activities related to
the supply of data automation 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 Tokio Marine Management, LLC, Data
Automation Department, including on-site leased workers
from Ultimate Staffing, People 2.0 North America, Apple
One, SGD, Inc., Randstad, Eclaro, and The Best IRS,
Pasadena, California, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 3, 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.
