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 26, 2019 by a State Workforce Agency on
behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, Consumer & Business
Banking Operations Unit, Quality Management & Bankruptcy
Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp., Irving,
Texas (U.S. Bank National Association). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of banking and
financial services, which include reviewing/auditing business
line processes and loans.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition, and 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 acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at U.S.
Bank National Association.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of U.S. Bank National
Association, Consumer & Business Banking Operations Unit,
Quality Management & Bankruptcy Division, a wholly owned
subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp., Irving, Texas, who are engaged in
activities related to the supply of banking and financial
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 U.S. Bank National Association, Consumer
& Business Banking Operations Unit, Quality Management &
Bankruptcy Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S.
Bancorp., Irving, Texas, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 25, 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 11th day of October 2019.
