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 10, 2019, by a State Workforce Agency on
behalf of workers of United Parcel Service General Service
Company, a subsidiary of United Parcel Service of America
Inc., Coppell, Texas (United Parcel Service-Coppell). Workers
of United Parcel Service-Coppell are engaged in activities
related to the supply of accounting and general ledger support
services, which includes transactional record, accounting
services, journal entries and account reconciliation. Workers
are not separately identifiable by service supplied.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from
TAPFIN Manpower.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in United Parcel Service-
Coppell 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 acquired from a foreign country the supply of services
like or directly competitive with the services supplied by the
subject workers which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at United Parcel Service-Coppell.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of United Parcel
Service-Coppell, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of accounting and general ledger support 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 United Parcel Service General Service
Company, a subsidiary of United Parcel Service of America
Inc., including on-site leased workers from TAPFIN
Manpower, Coppell, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 9, 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 25th day of September 2019.
